Recipe for Caramel Chex mix?

Question

I had a recipe for a caramel chex mix. I remember what ingredients, but I don't know the portions of the ingredients. I can't find it anywhere. I know that it used:

Butter

Chex [corn or rice]

Brown sugar

Cashews [or nut of choice]

I know that the first part of the recipe you do on the stove, and then you bake it in the oven.

Does anyone even know what I'm talking about??

2. In 2-cup microwavable measuring cup, microwave butter, brown sugar and corn syrup uncovered on High about 1 minute 30 seconds, stirring after 1 minute, until mixture is boiling. Pour over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly coated. Microwave uncovered on High about 5 minutes, stirring and scraping bowl after every minute, until cereal just begins to turn brown.
