  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Lightly butter a large roasting pan.
  • Mix corn and rice cereal, pecans, and almonds together in the prepared roasting pan.
  • Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Heat to 240 degrees F (115 degrees C) or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. Remove saucepan from heat and stir vanilla extract into syrup.
  • Drizzle syrup over cereal mixture and toss to coat.
  • Bake cereal mixture in the preheated oven for 30 minutes; stir and continue baking for 30 minutes more. Spread cereal mixture in 1 layer onto 2 lightly buttered baking sheets, separating any large chunks with 2 forks; allow to cool.
