- Mix butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Boil for two minutes, stirring constantly.
- Pour caramel sauce over cereal and nuts.
- Toss to coat all of the ingredients in the caramel sauce. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir, and bake for an additional 8 minutes.
- Allow to cool, breaking apart any large clumps with a wooden spoon or spatula.

Notes
- Line the baking sheets with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Otherwise it can be difficult to get the hardened caramel sauce off of the pans.
- For a smaller batch, cut all of the ingredients in half. The cooking instructions remain the same.
- Add a little bit of cayenne pepper to the butter mixture if you want a sweet and spicy snack mix!
