Caramel Chex Mix

6 cups Rice Chex
6 cups Corn Chex
6 cups Crispix
1 cup butter (no substitutions)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla
 
Heat oven to 250.  Combine cereal in a bowl.  In medium saucepan combine butter, brown sugar and corn syrup.  Stir constanly until boiling.  Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.  Remove from heat and add vanilla.  Pour over cereal and stir to coat.  Spread onto greased cookie sheet(s).  Bake for 1 hour stirring every 15 min.  Put on wax paper to cool.  Break apart while cooling.
 
Helps:  I usually use two aluminum roaster pans, easy to stir and easy clean up.
           I prefer the cereal a little more coated, so i use 1.5 times the sauce (ie 1.5 cup butter, 1.5 cups brown         sugar, 3/4 corn syrup and 1.5 tsp vanilla.)
