Mock Peanut Brittle

My daughter Jan called me the other night and asked me about a recipe that hung on the inside of one of the kitchen cabinet doors in our home for more years than I remember.  It was a recipe from a Buc-Wheats cereal box called Maple Chews.  I wracked my brain but couldn't remember what happened to the recipe.  I searched the internet high and low but couldn't find it.  I finally sent an email to General Mills asking if they had it in their archives.  I haven't heard back from them as of yet so if anyone reading this has the recipe please share with us.
Anyway, this got me thinking about a recipe I have for Mock Peanut Brittle which is very similar to the Maple Chews.

Ingredients for Mock Peanut Brittle...

1 cup white sugar
1 cup clear corn syrup
1 cup crunchy peanut butter or your favorite nut butter
6 1/2 cups of your favorite flake-type cereal
 "Pam" Spray (I use butter flavor)
How to prepare...
Place the sugar and corn syrup in a heavy sauce pot and bring to a boil.
Take from heat, stir in nut butter until melted
Spray a large bowl with "Pam" and pour in the cereal. 
Pour the melted sauce over the cereal
Mix well with a wooden spoon sprayed with "Pam"
Spray a sheet of waxed paper with "Pam"
Spray your hands with "Pam" then spread the  concoction out on the waxed paper.  BE CAREFUL IT'S HOT, however you have to work quickly or it will lump.
Let cool then break apart.
This never lasts long enough at my house to store so I have no idea how long it will keep.

This is what it looks like when finished...

Enjoy!
