Equipment

  • Big Bowl
  • sauce pan

Ingredients

  • 14 ounces Rice Chex Cereal
  • 7 ounces sweetened coconut shredded
  • 5 ounces slivered almonds

  • ¾ cup butter
  • 1 ¼ cups corn syrup

Instructions

  • Spray a LARGE (the biggest you can find) bowl with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Pour in the entire box of Chex cereal, coconut, and almonds. Gently mix together.
  • Mix together the sugar, butter, light corn syrup, and dash of salt in a medium saucepan over med/high heat.
  • Bring to a full boil, turn heat down to medium, and cook for three minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Pour over the cereal mixture in the big bowl and stir evenly.
  • Spread cereal evenly on wax paper and let cool.
  • Once it cools, I bag it up in little cellophane bags and share with neighbors and friends. Or put it in a bowl and dig in!
  • You can also store it in an airtight container or Ziploc bag and it lasts for a couple of days.

Notes

Tips for making this recipe:
  • You will also want to spray the bowl with non-stick cooking spray because once you add the gooey goodness, it will stick like crazy.
  • As you cook the gooey mixture on the stove top, stir constantly because it will easily burn.
  • If it starts to boil over, just turn the heat down a little bit.
  • Use a large wooden spoon to mix it all together in the bowl.
