SWEET NIBBLES

2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup maple syrup
1/2 t salt
4 cups unsalted freshly popped popcorn
2 cup corn chex
1 cup wheat chex
1 cup rice chex
1 cup salted peanuts

Combine sugar, syrup and salt in small saucepan.  Heat slowly stirring constantly just until sugar disolves.  Remove from hea.  Combine popcorn, cereals, and peanuts in large kettle.  Pour sugar mixture over top.  Toss with wooden spoon until evenly coated.  Cook over medium heat stirring constantly for five minutes or until mixture is very sticky.  Turn out onto two large sheets of buttered foil.  Separate into bite-size pieces with two forks.  Let stand at room temp to cool completely.  Store in a tightly covered container.

This is pretty good.  It is sticky though.  The only problem is you have to buy all 3 Chex flavors and then after making this you're left with those pesky Chex left over, unless you really like them!  Or you could make more party mix.......
