Gooey Almond and Coconut Chex Mix Recipe

November 20, 2012

This recipe was a staple in our house every holiday season while we were growing up- a couple of years ago I even made about 10 batches of it and took it around to our neighbors as a Christmas gift. It is easy to throw together, the kids can help make it, and it is finished and ready to eat in less than 15 minutes. Warning: it\'s super addicting! I have absolutely no control when I make this . . . I just can\'t stop nibbling. :) I even had it for breakfast this morning . . . it\'s cereal, righ

1 (14 oz-17 oz) box of Rice OR Corn Chex cereal
1 (7 oz) bag of sweetened coconut

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) margarine or butter
1 1/4 cups light corn syrup (like Karo syrup)
Dash of salt
