This is one of my favorite snacks! It’s really my mom’s genius recipe… she has been making it for as long as I can remember. Movie nights as a kid, long car trip snacks, game night treats, party treats, or just because treats! I always loved them and have many great memories eating them! Later I began making them for my roommates at college and even later for my own family.
It’s easy to make and is seriously so good! Perfect game time snack! I couldn’t resist making it with Easter m&m’s!
Chewy M&M Chex Mix
1/2 box Golden Grahams cereal
1/2 box Honey Nut Chex cereal
2 cups shredded coconut
1 cup slivered almonds
1 bag m&m’s (any kind you like)
1 stick butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup Karo syrup
***Mix cereal, coconut, and almonds in the largest mixing bowl you can. Melt butter, karo syrup,and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil stirring constantly. Let it boil for at least two minutes, but keep stirring. Poor over cereal mixture and mix using a strong spoon. After a minute, dump in m&m’s and keep mixing. I always add the m&m’s a minute later so that they don’t melt. My mom would tell you to keep stirring until the mixture cools, but I cheat! Once it is all combined well I spread it out on the counter on top of some parchment paper or tinfoil to cool. These keeps it from getting all stuck together in one giant ball.
So yummy! I could just dive in!
Great snack to bring to a party!
