It's hard being an anti-chocolate person. Even harder as a woman. But when I came across this snack mix (or something similar), my inadequate feelings flew out the window.
This is like Rice Krispie treats on steroids.
I admit that I often post recipes on this blog so that I have a place to keep them safe from certain irresponsible members of my family who continue to lose things. It's me, by the way.
So after perfecting this recipe this morning, i thought it wise to quickly taupe it here for safe keeping. And sharing, of course.
This doesn't have a good name. Suggestions accepted!
Mia together in a large bowl:
4.5 cups golden Grahams
6.5 cups rice chex
2 cups shredded coconut (unsweetened is best, but sweetened will work, too)
1 cup sliced almonds
In saucepan combine:
1 stick butter
3/4 cup Karo syrup
3/4 cup sugar
Cook and bring to a boil. Continue to simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from hear and add in 1 tsp vanilla. Pour over cereal mix and stir to combine. Spread on cookie sheets (waxed paper makes easy cleanup) to cool and harden up a bit.
This is a tad less sweet and gooey than other recipes out there. You can always add more cereal to make it even less sweet.
