Chex Christmas Crack
This Chex Christmas Crack is gooey and chewy and crunchy and sweet and salty - it's really everything that is delicious!
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1½ 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)
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!
