Sweet & Salty

I have not posted for such a long time, it has been crazy getting ready for Christmas and being sick with this baby, so...here is my attempt at redeeming myself....I made this for my neighbor gifts/treats.....so good, it is my Grandma's recipe

3 cups Cheerios
3 cups Shreddies (we only have those in Cananda...you can use I think they are bran chex....the dark brown ones)
3 cups Rice Chex
3 cups Corn Chex
2 cups Pretzels (I prefer the sticks, my grocery store was all out this time though)
3 cups Bugles
1 cup Salted Peanuts (I dont usually put these in, too many allergies)
2 cups margarine
2 2/3 cups white sugar
1 cup corn syrup
2 tsp vanilla (add after it is cooked)

Mix together Cheerios, Shreddies, Rice Chex, Corn Chex, pretzels, bugles and peanuts, set asige. In a sauce pan cook margarine, sugar and corn syrup. Cook to 200 F (or a little more than soft ball). Add vanilla and pour over cereal mixture. Spread out on buttered cookie sheets and leave until sets. Break apart and store in Ziploc bags.
