Instructions
Place butter, sugar and Karo syrup into a medium sauce pan. Bring to boil over medium high heat for 5 minutes.
Mix all dry cereal, nuts and coconut in large bowl.
Pour cooked butter mixture over cereal.
Gently mix and pour onto 3-4 lightly greased jelly roll pans.
When completely cooled, place in cellophane bags to give away, or put into serving bowls.
Notes
I use 1 1/2 boxes of Chex, because I like it when the mixture is not super sticky.
If you like the Chex treat to be sticky, cook the mixture for 3 minutes and do not add the additional cereal.
If adding any type of chocolate or candy such as M&M's let the mixture cool COMPLETELY before adding, or the candy will melt onto the cereal.
