Ingredients

  • 8 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 8 cups Corn Chex cereal
  • 8 cups Golden Grahams cereal
  • 2 cups almonds sliced or slivered
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups corn syrup
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • Optional add-ins: other types of nuts M&M’s, etc.

Instructions

  1. Pour cereal, almonds and any additional mix-ins into two large mixing bowls, half in each bowl.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt butter, add sugar and corn syrup. Mix and boil for 2 minutes over medium high heat. Remove from heat and add vanilla and almond extract to syrup mixture.
  3. Pour half of this mixture into each bowl of cereal. Stir until all the cereal is coated.
  4. Pour onto parchment lined baking sheets to cool. This prevents over-stickiness and keeps it from sticking together on one large clump in the bowl.
