Sauce:
1/2 c butter or margarine
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper*
2 Tbsp Worcester sauce
1/2 tsp liquid smoke
2 - 3 tsp hot sauce*
*adjust the amount of heat to your preference*
Melt butter & brn sugar together, then stir in remaining ingredients - stir 'til sugar is dissolved and sauce is well combined. Drizzle small amounts over cereals & gently fold in, repeat until well coated.

Heat oven 250 degrees -- Bake 15 min's intervals gently stirring mix each time for 60 min's.
Spread mix onto lg cookie sheets or jelly roll pans.

Drizzle Topping:

Store in air tight containers or ziplock bags, then in cool location or 'fridge.

  1. That sounds scrumptious!! Sweet, salty, crunchy,spicy and chocolate. What could be better.

    I love a little recipe ingenuity and adventure. I'll bet it's better than the one from the store.
