For a richer caramel flavor, use dark brown sugar. Toast the pecans and almonds before adding them to the mix for an extra layer of nutty goodness. Feel free to substitute other nuts or cereals to customize the mix to your liking. Pretzels, walnuts, or cashews would all be delicious additions. This snack mix makes a wonderful homemade gift! Package it in decorative tins or cellophane bags.
