Description
Enjoy these deliciously sticky cereal treats made with a mix of Rice Chex, Corn Chex, and Golden Grahams, combined with nuts and coconut.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 spray cooking spray
- 3 cups Rice Chex cereal (see note 1)
- 3 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 3 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 1–1/2 cups roasted and salted mixed nuts
- 2 cups sweetened coconut flakes
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (cut into tablespoons)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (optional)
Instructions
- Line a very large sheet pan (15×21 inches) with parchment paper or foil. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
- On the prepared pan, combine Rice Chex cereal, Corn Chex cereal, Golden Grahams cereal, mixed roasted and salted nuts, and sweetened coconut. Toss together with your hands.
- Place unsalted butter (cut into tablespoons), sugar, and corn syrup in a pan and stir over medium-high heat until butter is melted. Bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Then remove from heat and carefully add salt, vanilla (it may sputter), and optional coconut extract.
- Pour the prepared sugar mixture over the cereal mixture on the pan and, using 2 wooden spoons or a spatula and a spoon, toss to evenly coat. Make sure all the cereal/nuts/coconut are well-coated.
- Let stand at room temperature until hardened and firm, about 1–2 hours. The mix won’t fully firm up; it is meant to be sticky and gooey.
Notes
- Note 1: Feel free to use any combination of cereals you prefer as long as they are similar in size and texture.
