Nutty Caramel Snack Mix

Nutty Caramel Snack Mix 1 cup unsalted butter 2 cup light brown sugar, packed 1/2 cup light corn syrup 1 tsp kosher salt 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp vanilla extract 8 cup rice squares cereal 1 1/2 cup Fisher Whole Almonds 1 cup Fisher Pecan Halves Preheat oven to 250 degree F. Line two broiler pans with foil (cookie sheets, or large disposable pans work too). Set aside. In a medium saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for one full minute. Remove from heat. Quickly whisk in the baking soda and vanilla extract. This will make the caramel become frothy. In a large bowl, combine the cereal and nuts. Pour caramel mixture over cereal and stir until everything is coated evenly. Pour onto prepared pans. Bake for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes, making sure the caramel continues to coat the cereal and nuts. Spread hot mixture onto a parchment paper lined counter top. Allow to cool completely.
