Ingredients

• 15.5 ounces Fritos corn chips
• 2 cups Rice Chex cereal
• 2 cups pretzel twists
• 1 1/2 cups nuts (walnuts, peanut, cashews suggested)
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar

• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1 cup mini M&M's

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl combine the Fritos, Chex, Pretzels and nuts. Set aside.

In a small saucepan melt the sugar, butter and corn syrup over medium heat. Let the mixture come to a boil and then boil for 4 minutes without stirring.

Remove the pan from heat and pour over the Frito mixture, stirring to coat evenly. Transfer the mix to a large roasting pan and bake for 8 minutes. Remove to stir and bake for an additional 8 minutes.

Transfer the mixture to a wax paper lined counter and let it cool completely before breaking into large clumps. When cooled sprinkle M&Ms over mix. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
