Melt butter in large dutch oven over low heat.

Variations: this is a very versatile recipe where a few of the ingredients can be substituted out for something else; Use a different extract/flavoring than vanilla (like peppermint, etc); try using different crunchy cereals (avoid the flake-like ones); use different nuts (like pecan, almond or macadamia).
