Everyone likes a Treat

My personal goal this year is to get to know all my neighbors on my street.  I'm not one that goes out of my way to meet new people, which surprises most people.  I am very much a people person, I love people, but leading out in new friendships is not my thing.   So I decided to make treats to take once a month to the neighbors I don't know, everyone likes a treat... Right?

Here is my go to treat at Valentines. When I lived with my mother in law when I was first married she made this every Valentine. If you have a neighbor that you should meet here's a chance for you to meet a new neighbor and share a yummy treat!

Holiday Chex Mix

1 large box Chex Cereal

1 large package M&M  (Holidays are my favorite)

Mix together in a bowl

In a saucepan place:

3/4 cup butter (stick and half)

1 3/4 cup Karo syrup

1 3/4 cup sugar

2 teaspoon Vanilla (add after the 3 Min boil, watch out it will spit at you)

Boil for 3 minutes. (it does grow a little so make sure your pan is big enough). Add vanilla.

Pour over cereal mixture, stir until cereal is coated well. Spread out on wax paper or foil and let cool
