pretty tasty, but I will not add the m&m's next time. People liked it, but felt the chocolate was unnecessary.

No surprise here! This recipe was different and excellent. Makes a lot, too. Easy, easy, just make sure to stir within 5 or 10 minutes of taking out of the oven. Added a bag of mini m&m's for color and CHOCOLATE!

This was a great recipe!! I took it to our lake cabin with my husbands family they loved it. I added a tsp. of cinnamon and vanilla and M&M's as metioned by others. It really added a little something to it. I will use this again soon.

Add my relatives to those who just loved this. I passed on the recipe to 3 new fans. I used Crispix and added 1 cup pretzels. Also, for cooling, divide into 2 pans for easier stirring and faster cool down.

Big hit with my family, they really enjoyed it. I added waffle-like pretzels to the mix... it was great!

I didn't think that there was anything special to this. It seemed like something was missing, and I would have liked to have more nuts in it. If you decided to make this, be sure to use the deep roasting pan so that the caramel won't burn. I doubled the batch, but only had one pan, so I put the other on a cookie sheet, which ended up being a burnt mess. The batch in the roasting pan turned out fine, though. I don't think I'll make this again.

Every time I take this anywhere, it is completely consumed (down to the last crumb!) and at least one person asks me for the recipie.

This was really good! Not too sweet, not too salty. My whole family loved it and asked me to make it again as soon as it was gone. Thanks for sharing Trish.

This is so yummy! I made this to take to a Super Bowl party but I think I'm gonna have to make another batch cuz it's not gonna make it out of my house! I used cashews in place of pecans- but I think pecans would have been better. Very delicious!

A good recipe not meant for doubling (unless, I suppose, you're quite skilled at handling a bubbling sugar brew.) I didn't enjoy the flavor much...but others who tasted it found it tasty (if not a bit too candy-crunchy).

We loved this!! Even though my husband prefers the traditional chex snack mix, I took a chance on something different. We have had our hands in it all day and it is almost gone. Even the kids can't stop eating it. This recipe will be at the top of my food gift recipes. I used Cinnamon Cripix which added a wonderful hint of cinnamon. I also threw in salted peanuts, pecan halves, and waffle shaped pretzels. It was all wonderful. I even made this on a rainy humid day in Texas and it still came out crunchy. We don't like recipes that stick to our teeth. For Christmas next year, I plan on adding red and green M&Ms after it cools to give it some color as well as chocolate to go with this wonderful toffee snack before placing it in glass holiday jars. Thank you for sharing!

This was very easy to make, and sooo delicious. I used peanuts instead of walnuts, but kept the amounts the same. I'm sure I will become a Christmas tradition! Thanks Trish!

I made this for the first time last year and what a winner. Everyone will want the recipe. I have already made four batches so far this year to put in containers as gifts. I leave the pecans whole and they are yummy.

This is a great mix...I have tried using less nuts (not a fan) and adding different cereals as well as pretzel twists. It has always turned out great, no matter what I added, as long as I keep the total amount of dry ingredients about the same. Thanks for this recipe!!!

Oh...my...Gosh! This is by far the best variation of Chex mix our family has ever tasted. The toffee-like coating is perfect. You can use any selection of nuts (we liked a combination of rice chex, corn chex, peanuts, pecans & sliced almonds and pretzed sticks). I made my first batch to give away to co-workers, but half the gallon bag was gone the next morning by my much-addicted, snack-munching family. Thank you, Trish!

Absolutely addictive! Made this for our company party and had several requests for the recipe. This recipe is change friendly as far as type of nuts and that sort of thing. BE SURE to stir every few minutes after you take it out of the oven to keep it from sticking in one big glob.
