Ingredients:
1/2 cup sweet unsalted butter or 1/2 cup margarine, melted ( 1 stick)
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons maple extract
8 cups Chex cereal ( any flavor – they used a mixture of corn, rice, and wheat flavor)
1 cup mixed chopped nuts, to taste
Directions:
Melt butter or margarine in a large microwavable bowl big enough to hold all of the cereal& nuts later (about 2 quarts)- don’t put the cereal& nuts in yet, though.
If your microwave is very small, you may need to make half batches.
Once melted, quickly whisk in brown sugar and maple extract.
Stir in the cereal and the nuts until coated and return bowl to microwave and cook on HIGH heat 4-5 minutes, stirring after every minute.
Spread out mix onto cookie sheets lined with wax paper and let cool.
Break apart and store in an airtight container.
