So easy but so Yummy.........

I made this delicious.........well I don't even know what the name for it is but it is yummy no matter what the name is. Kacy gave me the recipee and it was so easy to make. Some people were asking me for the recipee and I never got it to them. I am going to put in on here because it will be easier that way.

You will need:

-1 cup butter

-1 cup brown sugar
-Pecans (as much as you want)

-1/2 cup caro syrup
-Big brown bag or two big mixing bowls (one of the bowls has to be able to fit in your microwave)

-1 box of Crispix cereal (if you can't find crispix you can use half a box of rice chex ceral and half a box of corn chex ceral)
Put butter, brown sugar and caro syrup in a pan and bring to a boil. Let it boil for 2 mintues. Do not over boil.
Put ceral in brown paper bag or big mixing bowl.
Pour sauce over ceral and pecans and shake the bag.
If you are using mixing bowls then put the other mixing bowl over the top of the other one so there is a tight seal and shake the bowls so the cereal is being tossed and mixed.
Microwave one minute
Shake again
Microwave for another minute
Serve
I didn't put pecans in it when I made it.
I just used mixing bowls because I didn't have a brown bag.
I couldn't find the crispix cereal so I used chex, half a box of corn and half a box of rice.
