Ingredients:
•    6 cups Crispix or mix of corn and/or rice Chex cereal
•    4 cups Golden Grahams cereal
•    2 cups mini pretzels or pretzel sticks
•    1/4 cup white sugar

In a small bowl, mix white sugar, and spice blend of choice and a pinch of kosher salt. Set aside.

Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir brown sugar into the melted butter. Microwave for another minute or so until bubbly. Whisk the butter and brown sugar mixture until it fully combines and thickens.
