Ingredients

  • 6 cups vanilla chex cereal
  • 1 cup plain cheerios
  • 1 1/2 cup pretzels
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In large bowl, stir chex, cheerios, pretzels and almonds together to incorporate.
  • In a separate smaller bowl, melt butter, then stir in corn syrup, cinnamon, vanilla and almond extract. Drizzle butter mixture over the mixture of cereals and toss to coat evenly.
