Caramel Chex Mix - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 box Rice Chex
1 box Corn Chex
1 box Crispix
1 box raisins
2 bags pecan halves
1 bag shredded coconut
1 lb. margarine
2 lb. brown sugar
1 c. white corn syrup
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla

Preparation

Mix and divide first 6 ingredients into 2 large paper grocery bags.
Bring to a boil the rest of ingredients, except vanilla, and simmer 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla.
Pour into the grocery bags and toss until well coated. Fold the top down of the bag and heat in microwave on High for 1 1/2 minutes.
Remove and shake the bag, cook another 1 1/2 minutes, then repeat the process again.
Do the same with the other bag.
I spread this mixture out onto the counter to cool.
If you don't have a microwave, heat in 200\u00b0 oven on large cookie sheets for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
