Sugar Cookie Chex Mix

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups Chex Cereal I use 3 cups each of 2 kinds, usually rice and corn
  • 3 cups Golden Grahams cereal
  • 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1.5-2 cups nuts I usually use 1 cup slivered almonds and 1.5 cups cashew pieces
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 large bag sugar cookie M&M's This recipe is great with regular M&M's, Caramel M&M'S, holiday colored M&M's,etc. Also, for MORE chocolatey goodness, I like to use a large bag, PLUS a few extra.

Instructions
 

  • Add cereal, coconut and nuts to a LARGE mixing bowl.
  • Over medium heat, melt butter, corn syrup, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil stirring frequently. Boil for 3 mins and immediately remove from heat and dump over cereal mixture.
  • Stir together to coat cereal with sticky mixture.
  • Let cool. Wait until WELL cooled before adding M&M's. If you add the M&M's too soon, they will melt and you will lose the shell colors and your mix will not be as pretty.
  • After 5 or so minutes, add your M&M's and stir. I like to leave a few M&M's out and then add them to the top of the serving bowl/container. It is just to add to the cuteness factor.
