Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Coconut Almond Chex Mix.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). This is the perfect temperature to bring out the flavors of your ingredients.
Step 2
Next, spread the sweetened shredded coconut evenly on a baking sheet. On another baking sheet, spread out the slivered almonds. This will allow them to toast beautifully without sticking together.
Step 3
Pop both baking sheets into the preheated oven and let them bake for about 15 minutes. Keep an eye on them, and give them a stir halfway through. You want them to turn a lovely golden brown, which should take an additional 5 to 10 minutes of stirring every 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 4
While your coconut and almonds are toasting, grab a large mixing bowl and combine the toasted coconut, almonds, crispy rice cereal squares, and honey graham cereal. Give it a gentle toss to mix everything together.
Step 5
In a saucepan, combine the white sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Heat this mixture over medium heat until it comes to a rolling boil. You’ll want to keep an eye on it and stir occasionally. Cook until it reaches 240 degrees F (115 degrees C). To check if it’s ready, drop a small amount into cold water; it should form a soft ball that flattens when removed.
Step 6
Once your syrup is ready, pour it over the cereal mixture in the bowl. Stir gently but thoroughly until everything is well coated in that sweet, buttery goodness.
Step 7
Now, spread the mixture out onto two baking sheets to cool. Make sure to stir it occasionally to prevent clumping. This will help it cool evenly and stay crunchy!
