Crispix Candy Snack Mix

This recipe hasn't been in my family, but came from a friend.  Anyway, it's pretty flippin' awesome!

RECIPE

2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
2 sticks butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
6 cups corn chips
6 cups pretzels
12 oz. bag M&M's
10 oz. Crispix cereal
2 cups dry roasted peanuts

DIRECTIONS

Boil brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt for 1 1/2 minutes.  Add the baking soda and remove from heat.  Spray the inside of a paper grocery bag with Pam.  Pour in the chips, pretzels, cereal, and peanuts.  Pour the caramel mixture over the snack mixture.  Put the entire bag in the microwave for 3 minutes.  Put in the M&M's, shake the bag, and put back in the microwave for 1 more minute.  Pour mixture onto wax paper to cool.
