Sweet & Salty Frito Snack Mix

    • 1 bag (10.5 oz) Fritos corn chips
    • 2 cups Rice Chex cereal
    • 2 cups mini pretzel twists
    • 1 1/2 cups nuts (I used a tin of mixed nuts)
    • 1 cup brown sugar
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
    • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
    • 1 cup mini M&Ms

Directions:

    1. In a large bowl, mix together Fritos, Chex, pretzels, and nuts.
    2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the sugar and corn syrup, stirring to help it a long. Bring it to a boil and boil for 4 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat.
    3. Pour the butter mixture over the top of the Fritos mixture and toss to coat.
    4. Place into a large roasting pan (or aluminum pan for easy clean up) and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 8 minutes.
    5. Remove from oven and stir. Bake for 8 more minutes.
    6. Pour contents of the roasting pan onto a parchment paper or wax paper-lined countertop and let cool.
    7. Break into smaller pieces and then sprinkle with M&Ms. Store in an airtight container. Keeps for about a week.
