Sweet Chex Mix Recipe
This ooey gooey sweet chex mix is an easy no-bake snack made with Chex, coconut, and sliced almonds, all coated in a sweet, glossy glaze. Crispy, chewy, and impossible to put down.
Ingredients
- 14 ounces Chex cereal (1 box)
- 1 cup nuts (I used 1/2 cup sliced almonds and 1/2 cup cashews)
- 2-2 ½ cups sweetened coconut
- 2 sticks butter (I used salted)
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups karo syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Spray a large bowl with non-stick cooking spray. Pour chex in bowl and mix in the coconut and nuts. Set aside.
- Cut the cube of butter into small pieces and place in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add sugar and karo syrup and stir together. Bring to a boil and then continue to cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add in vanilla and stir until combined. Remove pan from heat and pour mixture over chex and stir until the mix is coated.
- Then spread the mixture out on wax paper and allow to cool. Store in an air tight container.
Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-7 days. I doubt it will last that long, it's so addicting with it's sweet and salty taste with added crunch!
