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

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.
