Recipe of the Week....

I love to cook!! I have found some really great recipes through the years that always seem to be a big hit. So, I am going to start a segment to add all of the recipes I have found to be party starters and heart stoppers.

This recipe comes from a dear friend of mine, Sister Bailey. She was the Relief Society advisor when I served in the Relief Society in Ogden. As always, I added a few of my own modifications at the end. Try it out and let me know what you think!

CHEX MIX
1 cup sugar
1 cup light karo syrup
3/4 cup butter
1/2 box Golden Grahams
1/2 box Rice Chex
1/4 cup coconut
1/2 cup sliced or slivered almonds
Bring sugar, karo syrup and butter to a boil. Boil for about 1 minute. Mix Golden Grahams, Rice Chex, coconut and almonds in large bowl. Pour liquid mixture over dry ingredients until well coated. Store in an air tight container.
Modification: I normally double the recipe for a bigger batch. And I just dump in the coconut and almonds until I think it looks like a good amount with the cereal. I also add extra Golden Grahams sometimes if I want it to be sweeter and crunchier.
