This was so good! I added cheerios, pretzels, and honey roasted peanuts when baking in the oven and then added m&m like other reviews after it cooled. This definately had a lot of glaze even with the added ingredients. Maybe next time I will add less butter and maybe even more dry ingredients so it isn't too sweet. Thanks!

I made this for a birthday party as well and this mix was a huge hit! I added honey roasted peanuts, cashews, Cheerios, and M&M's--once it cooled enough. I also used a disposable roasting pan and sprayed olive oil on the wax paper like someone else suggested. Very easy clean up for me and oh-so-yummy!

SUPER SNACK RECIPE!! I can't say enough about this party mix ~ I made a batch for my daughter's 15th birthday party and the teenagers devoured it in minutes!! Adults loved it too. I cooled it on wax paper I sprayed with olive oil and it came off easy. Thanks!

I added mini pretzles before baking and then M&Ms at the end. I couldn't stop eating this and my guests loved it. My 17 year old begged me to let her take it in a baggie everyday to share with her friends at summer school. Winner, winner! P.S. Don't make this if you are on a diet because you will not be able to resist it and there is nothing diet about it.

I am giving this 5 stars even though I didnt really care for it (probably due to pregnancy taste bud issues), but my family LOVED it and were addicted to it. My sister said she is not making this at home cos she's eat it all. The only change i made was honey roasted peanuts instead of the other nut (not almonds, but the other one - sorry cant remember exactly what the recipe called for). easy to make! thanks for the recipe.

The reviews didn't lie. Addictive is the perfect word for it. Reminds me a bit of "Cracker Jacks" or whatever it was called with the popcorn and peanuts in the box with the prize. Next time I think I'll try adding some fresh popped corn along with the cereal and nuts.

DO NOT make this recipe if you are on a diet. I made this for my daughter's b-day party and it was sooo good and soooo addictive that I couldn't stop eating it. It also got rave reviews from all of the party guests. I will definitely make this mix again.....Also, I added M&Ms as suggested by some of the other reviewers, but I actually preferred it without them.

Not quite what I expected but very good. I really thought it would be sweeter. I made the syrup just as directed but did add some broken pretzel sticks, potato sticks, and toasted chopped almonds, walnuts & pecans. The trick to this is just to mix it in the roasting pan in the first place, then dump onto two sheets of parchment paper side-by-side on your table. It cools very quickly, allowing you to 'mix' it with your hands on the parchment. Thank you very much for this recipe! UPDATE: I just made this again, 1 1/2 years later and forgot I had made it before. My experience this time was much different, although I didn't really do anything significantly differently. I was really really awesomely good and addictive. I do have a convection oven now and wonder if that's why it came out a little chewier, though not sticky. LOVED IT!

With a few revisions, this was a great snack! I made the topping (syrup, brown sugar and butter) exactly as described. I did, however, switc up the ingredients a bit: Chex Mix cereal, cheerios, pretzels, salted peanuts and honey roasted peanuts. I threw it all in a disposable roasting pan, then sprinkled in M&Ms after it was done baking. Very sweet and addicting mix that everyone has loved!

This is definitely addictive. Last year, I doubled the recipe, but forgot to double the sugar and corn syrup. It was buttery, crispy, and awesome! The previous year, I tried whole almonds, but slivered works better in this recipe. Large pecan pieces are perfect.

I was a little disappointed with the recipe, which based on the reviews must have been something that I did. I didn't think it was anything special, and my 3-year-old daughter didn't like it either. It actually tasted best when they were still warm. I did add pretzels which was a mistake. I thought the pretzels were terrible. Thanks for sharing!!

Good flavor! I made the recipe as directed with the exception of using light corn syrup and dry roasted peanuts (what I had on hand); seemed like there was too much of the wet ingredients and kept pooling at the bottom of the pans. I had a hard time scraping it off after letting it cool, even though I had sprayed the pans with Pam; thus the 4-star rating.

I just made this and can hardly keep my hands off from this. It's delicious. I used a corn chex/rice chex mix b/c I didn't have crispix, but followed everything else exactly. I am letting it cool on parchment paper, and it is coming up quite easily. This is a keeper.

This is so sweet & addictive, it's hard to stop eating. My one & only complaint was mine stuck to the wax paper like glue, I ended up putting it in the freezer so I could get it off. I will not do the wax paper again, otherwise A+++++

This is definitely addictive! I followed another reviewers suggestion and added m-n-m's. I also used honey roasted peanuts in place of the other nuts. In any case, the "glaze" is marvelous and whatever you add to it - you can't go wrong with this one!
