I had planned to post this a few days before Christmas and make a play of the title of this fun snack. But, alas, I got busy and did not post. This is one of my favorite snacks at Christmas and it is so easy with few ingredients. It's pretty much a sweet Chex mix but uses Crispix. The brown sugar and butter give this a toffee taste. At first, I was worried about the texture because it was initially pretty soft; but after it cools (BTW, remove it from the pans to cool some other place...it will stick to the pans!) everything has a great crunchy texture! Try it out on your friends at New Years.
Christmas Crunch
1 box Crispix cereal
1 can mixed nuts
1 stick butter
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 cup brown sugar
Preheat oven to 325. In a large bowl mix the cereal and nuts together. In a separate bowl, melt butter and sugar together. Stir in corn syrup. Pour this mixture over the cereal and stir until well coated. Pour cereal onto 1-2 cookie sheets. Place in oven and bake for an hour, stirring every 15 minutes. After the fourth 15-minute interval (one hour total time) remove from oven and pour cereal onto waxed paper to cool. Enjoy!
