Chewy Coconut-Almond Chex Mix
This Chewy Coconut-Almond Chex Mix is perfect for parties or a family treat!
Servings (1/2 cup) servings
Ingredients
- 6 ½ cups Rice Chex cereal
- 4 ½ cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 2 cups unsweetened coconut
- ¾ cup butter (12 tablespoons)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup light Karo syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
- In a VERY large bowl (or on a cookie sheet), combine cereals, almonds, and coconut. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, combine butter, Karo syrup, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and almond extract. While the mixture is still hot, pour over the cereal mixture and stir well so the candy mixture coats the cereal.
- Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool. Serve in a large bowl or divide into individual portions.
Notes
- Before storing, ensure the mix has cooled completely (spread it out on a parchment lined baking sheet to speed this process up). Then store in an airtight container at room temp and enjoy within a few days for best results.
- Mix it up: Lots of readers in the comments had great ideas for other additions to this mix. Lots of them recommended chocolate or white chocolate chips mixed in at the very end! Feel free to experiment with other mix-ins.
