Caramel Chex Mix

3/4 cup brown sugar
6 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp corn syrup
1/4 tsp baking soda
4 cups Rice Chex
4 cups Corn Chex
Optional: Peanuts and Chocolate Chips

1. In a large microwave safe bowl, mix together brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup.

2. Microwave mixture for 2 minutes or until butter is melted. Stir.

3. Add in baking soda. (Mixture will foam.)

4. Mix in Rice Chex and Corn Chex

5. Microwave for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. (Two minutes will make for a chewy caramel mixture, 3 minutes will get harder and add more crunch.)

7. Break apart, and enjoy!

NOTE: To use the optional items you can mix in the peanuts with the cereal. After it's done, melt the chocolate and drizzle over mixture.
