Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).

  2. Lightly grease a large roasting pan with butter.

  3. In the prepared roasting pan, combine corn and rice cereal, pecans, and almonds.

  4. In a saucepan, mix together brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  5. Continue heating the mixture until it reaches 240 degrees F (115 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.

  6. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

  7. Pour the syrup over the cereal mixture in the roasting pan and toss to evenly coat.

  8. Bake the cereal mixture in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

  9. After 30 minutes, stir the mixture and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes.

  10. Spread the cereal mixture onto two lightly buttered baking sheets in a single layer, using two forks to separate any large chunks.

  11. Allow the cereal mixture to cool completely.
