Ingredients:  
1/2 c. butter
3/4 c. white corn syrup
1 c. packed brown sugar
2 c. salted mixed nuts {cashews and peanuts were our favorites!}
1 (12 oz.) pkg. crispy corn and rice cereal
1-2 c. festive M&M’s- I used the harvest colored ones

Directions:
Preheat oven to 275 º F (135 degrees C). Line 2 large jelly-roll pans with parchment paper. In a medium-size microwave safe bowl, mix butter, white corn syrup and brown sugar. Place the mixture in the microwave and cook 2 minutes, or until butter melts. Stir mixture until combined and smooth. Place the cereal and nuts onto the prepared pans.
Pour the melted butter mixture over the cereal and nuts and mix gently until the cereal and nuts are coated. I used a rubber scraper and just gently held on to the side of the parchment paper while mixing. It was easier to do than I thought it’d be! Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Half way through, rotate the pans in the oven as well. (Anything on the bottom rack of my oven cooks faster, so rotating prevents half of your mix from overcooking!) Remover the pans from the oven and continue to stir the mix so that it doesn’t harden in 1 large piece! I held the edges of the parchment paper and slid the mix onto the counter top, so that it’d cool faster. It took only a few minutes, so be sure to stir them immediately after they come out of the oven! Once the mix is cool, add in the M&M’s and toss lightly to incorporate. ENJOY!
