In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla. Mix until combined, but leave it still a bit runny to easily pour over the cereal mixture.
½ cup butter, ½ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla
Pour the sugar mixture slowly over the cereal mixture while stirring to coat all the ingredients well.
Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Pour into an extra large bowl and add the candies. Mix well and serve.
1 cup Reese’s Pieces, ½ cup candy corn, ½ cup candy pumpkins, ½ cup mint M&M’s, ¼ cup candy eyeballs
Notes
Makes 16 servings of 1/2 cup each.
Work quickly when coating the cereal mixture in the caramel glaze so that each piece is evenly coated.
Store in an airtight container or a plastic zip bag at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
