Ingredients

2 cups Corn Chex
2 cups Honey Nut Cheerios
2 cups rye chips
1 cup mini pretzels
½ cup melted butter
1 cup brown sugar
⅓ cup maple syrup
½ tbsp garlic salt
¼ tsp soy sauce
2 cups mixed nuts (pecans, walnuts, raw almonds, blanched almonds)
⅓ cup maple syrup
⅛ tsp salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 250°F. In a large bowl combine cereals, rye chips and pretzels. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt butter. Add brown sugar, maple syrup, garlic salt and soy sauce. Mix well. Pour mixture onto dry cereal mix and combine evenly. Spread onto a large baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
For nut glaze, preheat skillet over medium-high heat. Add nuts, maple syrup and salt. Stir frequently, until syrup is caramelized and nuts are toasted, about 3 minutes.
When cereal mix is done baking, add glazed nuts and serve.
