Christmas Crack

Have you ever heard of Christmas Crack?? I am sure it has other names but this stuff is addicting!!! It is so good we don't just make it for Christmas we make it for road trips (because we like sticky fingers in our car, I know dumb huh but hey what's any different from any other sticky candy), baseball games, camping, family get togethers. This also makes great neighbor gifts or home teacher gifts etc.




1 (12.8 oz.) box Rice Chex cereal
1 (12 oz.) box Golden Grahams cereal
1 (7 oz.) bag shredded coconut
1 (4 oz.) bag slivered almonds
1 1/2 cups butter (3 sticks)
2 cups sugar
2 cups corn syrup

Combine Rice Chex and Golden Grahams, coconut, and almonds in a large bowl. Stir to combine. In a large sauce pan cook butter, sugar, and corn syrup to the "soft ball" stage about 234 degrees on a candy thermometer. Pour over cereal mix and stir until well coated. Pour mixture out onto a large cookie sheet to cool. Stir it occasionally to prevent clumping. Store in a airtight container (I never have to worry about storing it, its gone before I know it).
