Holiday Chex Mix

I recently came across this recipe a few days ago and have really fallen in love with it.

-Brenda

16 cups chex or any cereal you want

2 cups coconut

1 cup sliced nuts (the first time I used a combination of walnuts and cashews because that is what I had at the time)

2 cups pretzels

1 cup sugar

1 cup light Karo syrup

3/4 cup butter

1 cup finely crushed candy canes.

In a large bowl combine cereal, coconut, nuts and pretzels.

In a medium sauce pan combine sugar, butter and karo syurp. Over Medium heat melt butter and blend ingredients together. Once it comes to a full boil cook for 2 minutes.

Once it has cooked for two minutes take off heat and slowly wisk in the crushed candy canes. If you dump it all in at once, it will become a large lump and be really hard to stir in.

Pour over the cereal mixture and stir until it is all coated. Pour onto a greased cookie sheet and let cool.
