10 steps

Ingredients

  • 16 cups cereal
  • 2 cups coconut, grated
  • 1 cup almonds, sliced (or use any nuts you prefer)
  • 2 cups pretzels
  • Sauce
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup light Karo syrup
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup candy cane, dust (chopped)

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix cereal, almonds, pretzels, and coconut in a large bowl.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan combine butter, sugar, and Karo.
  3. 3
    Over medium heat melt the butter and blend ingredients together.
  4. 4
    Stir while heating, and once it comes to a boil, cook for 2 minutes. Set a timer because if it cooks too long it will be too hard. If it doesn't cook long enough it will be too soft.
  5. 5
    Once it has cooked at a full boil for 2 minutes take the mixture off the heat.
  6. 6
    Sprinkle in the topped candy canes ( make sure you add them slowly so they don't turn into a large ball).
  7. 7
    As you sprinkle in the candy cane, whisk to prevent large lumps.
  8. 8
    Pour over the top of the cereal mixture in bowl and stir until all cereal is well coated.
  9. 9
    Then pour onto a greased cookie sheet and top with sprinkles if you want.
