Chewy Chex Mix

Ingredients

6 1/2 c. Rice Chex
4 1/2 c. Golden Grahams (Or use pretzels!!)
1 c. sliced almonds
2 c. coconut
3/4 c. (1 1/2 sticks) real butter
1 c. sugar
1 c. light Karo syrup
1 tsp. vanilla

Instructions:

In a VERY LARGE bowl, combine cereal, almonds, and coconut. Set aside. In a large saucepan, combine butter, Karo syrup, and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cook for three minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. While the mixture is still hot, pour over the cereal mixture and stir well so the candy mixture coats the cereal. Serve in a large bowl or divide into individual portions.

The pretzel version gives it a salty-sweet kick :)
