Ingredients

14 ounces Rice Chex Cereal
7 ounces sweetened coconut (shredded)
5 ounces slivered almonds
1 ½ cups sugar
¾ cup butter
1 ¼ cups corn syrup
dash salt

Steps:

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.

CHEWY ALMOND CHEX MIX

This is a really yummy alternative to the traditional chex mix. I cannot recall where exactly I got this recipe from, I wish I could remember so that I can thank the person. I love the combination of sliced almond and almond extract...add the coconut...YUMMY! I was initially concerned with how sticky this would be however; it came out terrific. The original author gave this snack as a Christmas gift to neighbors and provided a cute little note "We made a list and "chexed" it twice, to be sure we included our neighbors so nice". I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

12 -15 ounces Rice Chex
2 cups coconut, shredded
2 cups almonds, sliced
1 cup Karo light corn syrup
3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon almond extract (you can use vanilla extract if you choose as well)
salt, sprinkle (optional)

Steps:

In a large bowl add the Rice Chex, shredded coconut and sliced almonds, put to the side.
In a dutch oven combine the Karo corn syrup, butter, sugar, and salt and cook on medium heat, stiring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.
Remove the mixture from the heat and add the baking soda and almond extract, stir until combined. (The mixture will get frothy and will expand in size, this is normal and what you want).
Add your reserved dry ingredients to your wet mixture and stir lightly until the ingredients are combined.
Spread the combined mixture onto waxed paper on your counter top.
Allow mixture to cool for 1 hour or until the mixure is able to be packaged. (Or at least until your patience runs thin and you have to have just a nibble).

MAPLE CINNAMON ALMOND CHEX MIX

Maple Cinnamon Almond Chex Mix image

I decided to play around with a Chex Mix recipe one day and came up with this. I made the mistake of shipping a batch to my husband and some of his fellow soldiers while he was deployed. I learned all about supply and demand after that. I had to make double and triple batches and they still ate it faster than I could make it! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do! It's a definite keeper!

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 box(es) cinnamon chex cereal - 13.5 oz
3/4 box(es) rice chex cereal - 12.8 oz
10 - 12 ounce(s) almonds, sliced
1 1/2 cup(s) white sugar
1 1/2 cup(s) light corn syrup
18 tablespoon(s) butter = 2 sticks + 2 tablespoons (no substitute)
1 pinch(es) salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) maple extract

Steps:

Mix the Cinnamon Chex, Rice Chex and almonds together in a large plastic bowl.
In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, bring the sugar, corn syrup, salt and butter to a boil. Stir occasionally until it turns golden and coats the back of a spoon, approximately 4 1/2 - 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and add the extract, stirring well.
Immediately pour over the cereal mixture and stir to coat.
Spread onto parchment paper and let cool. Store tightly covered.
NOTE: This makes a HUGE batch of Chex mix! It can be halved with no problems. Also, maple extract is pretty potent! If you'd like a stronger maple flavor, you can increase to 3/4 teaspoon.
