ingredients:
4 cups Corn Chex cereal

1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 box (3.64 ounces) Nestle Stixx chocolate, cut into 1/2 inch pieces (I can never find these, so I just buy one of those packages of 8 snack Hershey bars and break them into fours. i've also bought a bag of little Hershey pieces and those worked well.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Grease 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
Combine cereal, popcorn, and nuts in pan.
Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted. Boil without stirring for 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla extract and baking soda. Pour over cereal mixture; stir to coat.
