2016 Daily December 17--addiction

Sharing one of our favorite Christmas snacks today.  I have made this for the past couple of years, and I get requests for it every year.  

These are the ingredients, plus butter and sugar.  It is called Addiction for a reason :)  So beware.  And it makes a huge, huge batch, so be sure and make it to share.  

Soooooo good!  Enjoy

Addiction

3 sticks butter, or 1 1/2 cups butter

2 cups sugar

2 cups corn syrup

1 large box Rice Chex

1 large box Golden Graham cereal, or as you can see in the top photo, I buy the Malt-O-Meal brand Honey Graham Toasters, the big 38 oz bag, and I use half a bag for one recipe--cheaper than buying Golden Grahams :)

4 cups coconut flakes

3 cups sliced almonds

Mix both cereals, coconut and almonds in a very, very large bowl--I end up having to use 2 large bowls and just divide it evenly between the two.

Melt butter, sugar and corn syrup in a large pot and bring to a boil, then hard boil for 3 minutes.

Pour sugar mix over cereal and mix well.

Put on wax paper to cool and then eat :) 

2015 Daily December 9--addiction recipe

I am pretty sure I have shared this recipe before, but it is definitely worth repeating.  I make it a lot this time of year.  It is called Addiction.  It makes a ton, so it is great when you have a group over--like the whole high school band or the middle school basketball team.  I send it to work with Ben and on field trips with the kids to share.  Everyone loves it.

It comes together really quickly and really is addictive.  Some of the band kids call it "Chex crack" when I make it for them.  Enjoy!

Addiction

3 sticks butter or 1 1/2 cups butter

2 cups sugar

2 cups corn syrup

1 large box Rice Chex type cereal

1 large box Golden Grahams type cereal

4 cups shredded coconut

3 cups sliced almonds

1.  Mix cereals, coconut and almonds in a large bowl--I usually have to divide it into 2 large bowls.  

2.  Melt butter, sugar, and corn syrup in a large pot--I use my big stock pot because it really boils up high when it boils.  Bring this to a hard boil and hard boil for 3 minutes.

3.  Pour sugar mix over cereal and mix well

4.  Put on wax paper to cool and then serve

Enjoy!

2013 Daily Decemeber 11--an addictive snack recipe

I originally saw this recipe here and thought I would make it for a church activity.  Oh. my.  It lives up to its name--addiction.  I had several requests for the recipe after that.  Last night I made it for Ben's work to celebrate their move to their brand new building!  Yeah!  I am glad I had to give it away because I seriously could have eat all of it (and it makes a ton!) if I hadn't gotten it out of my house.  I am thinking I will make it to go on our neighbor Christmas goodies plates this year.  Enjoy!!!

Addiction

3 sticks butter (1 1/2 cups)

2 cups sugar

2 cups corn syrup

1 large box rice chex cereal

1 large box Golden Grahams cereal

4 cups coconut

3 cups sliced almonds

Mix cereals, coconut and almonds in a very large bowl--my largest bowl won't hold all of this, so I have to divide it into 2 large bowls--it makes a lot!

In a large sauce pan melt butter, sugar, and corn syrup.  Bring to a hard boil and boil for 3 full minutes.

Pour butter mix over cereal and mix well.

Pour mix on wax paper to cool, and sample and sample again :)

Sorry for how yellow this looks, but you can see how much it makes and how little hands like to sample it :)

  then put back into bowl to officially eat and share.  Enjoy!
