Gooey Almond and Coconut Chex Mix

I have seen many different recipes for this (AKA Christmas Crack from my Provo neighbors the Grows). This is my favorite one and when I make it, Liam comes and sneaks some as it cools (ever since he was 2). I got it from Six Sisters Stuff.

1 (14 oz) box Rice Chex cereal (or generic Rice Chex equivalent)
1 (7 oz) bag sweetened coconut
1 (5 oz) bag slivered almonds (or whatever kind you like)
1 1/2 C sugar
3/4 C butter
1 1/4 C light corn syrup
Dash of salt

1. Spray a large (the biggest you can find) bowl with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Pour in the entire box of Chex cereal, coconut, and almonds.  Gently mix together. 

3. Mix together the sugar, butter, light corn syrup, and dash of salt in a medium saucepan over high heat.

4. Bring to a full boil, turn heat down to medium, and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

5. Pour over cereal mixture in the big bowl and stir evenly.

6. Spread cereal evenly on wax paper and let cool.

7. Store in airtight container or Ziploc bags.  Put it in little cellophane bags to share with neighbors and friends.
