With so many people pulling out the stops and making elaborate Christmas sweets, it's a relief to see a new twist on an old favorite. Kids love the finished product because it combines two of their perennial favorite snacks: cereal and cookies. Preheat oven to 250°F. Combine first 6 ingredients in a large roasting pan; set aside. Combine butter and remaining ingredients in a heavy saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour mixture over combined cereals, tossing to coat. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Pour onto wax paper to cool, gently separating with a spoon. Store in airtight container. Makes about 18 cups.
