Sweet and Salty Cereal Bars image

Tasty way to satisfy those "sweet and salty" cravings. :) I found this recipe online while searching for a way to use up the rest of the Crispix cereal I had purchased for another recipe.

Time 15m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups Crispix cereal
2 cups Cheerios toasted oat cereal
1 1/2 cups lightly salted peanuts
1 1/2 cups broken pretzels
1 1/2 cups M&M's plain chocolate candy
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Combine cereals, peanuts, and pretzels in a large bowl.
  • Combine corn syrup, brown sugar, and butter in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat; boil 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in vanilla.
  • Immediately pour sugar mixture over cereal mixture, and stir well to coat; stir in M&Ms.
  • Using a greased spatula, press mixture tightly into a greased jellyroll pan (approximately 15X10 inches) and cool at room temperature. (I spread it as evenly as I could, then covered with a sheet of non-stick aluminum foil and pressed it out firmly and evenly.).
  • Cut into bars when completely cooled.
