Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 24-ounce box wheat Chex cereal
  • 2 cups shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter ((1 1/2 sticks))
  • 1 pinch salt

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 6.6 ounce box cheddar snack crackers ((I used the Target “market pantry” brand of chickadees crackers))

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine chex cereal and coconut. Set aside.
  2. In a microwavable bowl, combine butter, corn syrup, sugar, and salt. Microwave for 3 minutes. Stir, and microwave again for 2 minutes. Be careful. The mixture will be hot. Stir in vanilla and baking powder.
