Chex Caramel Crunch

Put butter in a medium sized microwave safe bowl. Melt butter in the microwave (heat for 30 seconds at a time until melted). Add sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil in the microwave, which takes about two minutes. Then continue to boil for about two minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from microwave and add baking soda and vanilla.

In a large microwave safe bowl, combine crackers, Chex, and nuts. Pour sugar/syrup mixture over the cracker mixture and stir well. Microwave for 2-3 minutes.

Spread the mixture onto 2 large cookie sheets and allow it to cool. When cool, break into bite sized pieces.
