Ingredients

• 2 cups white sugar
• 2 cups corn syrup
• 1 (14 ounce) package sweetened shredded coconut
• 2 (6 ounce) packages slivered almonds
• 1 (14 ounce) box crispy rice cereal squares (such as Rice Chex®)
• 1 (12 ounce) box honey graham cereal (such as Golden Grahams®)
• 1.5 cups butter

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Spread coconut on a baking sheet. Spread almonds on a separate baking sheet.

Step 3

Combine coconut, almonds, rice cereal, and honey graham cereal together in a large bowl. Set aside.

Step 4

Bake coconut and almonds in the preheated oven for 15 minutes; stir and continue baking until coconut and almonds are golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes more, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 5

Combine white sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan; attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan and bring mixture to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until mixture reaches 240 degrees F (115 degrees C), about 10 minutes, or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from water and placed on a flat surface.

Step 6

Pour sugar-butter mixture over cereal mixture; stir until well coated. Divide mixture between 2 baking sheets to cool, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping.
