Erma's Chex Mix treat

Author abountifulkitchen

Ingredients

  • 3 cubes of butter - 1 1/2 cups no margarine
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups light Karo Syrup
  • 1 large box of Golden Grahams Cereal
  • 1 large box of Corn Chex I use 1 & 1/2 boxes
  • 1/4 package coconut optional
  • 1 package sliced almonds optional

Instructions

  1. Place butter, sugar and corn syrup into a heavy sauce pan. Bring to boil for 3-5 minutes.
  2. Mix all dry cereal, nuts and coconut in large bowl.
  3. Pour cooked butter mixture over cereal.
  4. Gently mix and pour onto 3-4 lightly greased jelly roll pans.
  5. When completely cooled, place in cellophane bags to give away, or put into serving bowls.

Recipe Notes

-I use 1 1/2 boxes of Chex, because I like it when the mixture is not super sticky. I think cooking the butter-sugar mixture a bit longer than 3 minutes also helps with this.

-After the mixture cool completely, you can add ingredients like candy corn for Halloween, or colored M & M's for Christmas or Valentines Day. We tried chocolate chips once, not a good idea.

-You can also substitute pecans or our favorite, whole cashews for the sliced almonds.
