Ingredients
1/4 cup brown sugar

6 tablespoons salted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups Cinnamon Chex™ cereal
3 cups Honey Nut Chex™ cereal

1 cup Pumpkin Pie M&M’s (or plain M&M’s)
1 cup Candy Corn or Harvest Corn
Optional: M&M's Halloween Cocoa Crisps, Target exclusive
Directions
In small microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter on High about 30 seconds or until melted. Stir in brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla. In large microwavable bowl, mix cereal and pretzels. Pour butter mixture over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.
Microwave uncovered on high in 1 minute increments, for 5 minutes, or until mixture begins to brown, stirring after each minute. Spread on wax paper or a cookie sheet to cool.
When mixture has cooled, mix in nuts and candy. Store in airtight container.
Note: Microwave wattage varies. After 3 minutes, reduce microwaving to 30 second increments, stirring so butter /sugar mixture doesn’t scorch.
