Chex Christmas Crack

This Chex Christmas Crack is gooey and chewy and crunchy and sweet and salty - it's really everything that is delicious!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups white sugar
  • cups butter, unsalted (3 sticks)
  • 2 cups light corn syrup
  • 10 cups Rice Chex Cereal (1, 12 oz. box)
  • 7 cups Golden Grahams Cereal (optionally, you can add Cinnamon Toast Crunch instead of Golden Grahams)
  • 2 cups pretzel sticks
  • 1 bag (14 oz.) shredded coconut (sweetened)

Instructions

  • Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with wax paper or parchment paper, spray with cooking spray, and set aside.
  • In an extra large bowl combine Chex, Golden Grahams, pretzel sticks, and shredded coconut). (If you don't have one bowl large enough, evenly divide the ingredients between 2 bowls).
    Set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, add butter, sugar, and corn syrup.
    Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until it begins to boil.
  • Once it begins to boil, set a timer for 4 minutes 30 seconds. Continue to cook over medium heat as it boils, and continue stirring.
  • Once timer goes off, remove from heat and pour over Chex mixture in bowl(s).
    I like to pour about half over, mix it up with large spoons, then pour the remaining half.
  • Using large spoons mix it together well, and pour out evenly onto baking sheets to set.
  • After about 30 minutes, mixture will be cooled and set. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
