Crispix Mix

This is for Emma!


1 box (12oz.) Crispix
1 box (12 oz) Golden Grahams
7 oz. slivered almonds

2 cubes butter
1 ½ c. light karo syrup
1 ½ c. sugar

Pour cereals into a (very) large bowl. (Wait on almonds because they just sink to the bottom)
Mix butter, syrup and sugar in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir at a rolling boil for 2 minutes and pour over cereal, covering evenly. Add almonds while adding syrup mixture. Spread on wax paper to cool or just eat right out of the bowl.
I have seen coconut added to this but I prefer without.

Candied Nuts

Things are slowing and I have some special treats in the works. Be patient, they are coming.

Making salad and want candied nuts to garnish? This is a quick and easy way to get them and they are GOOD!


Candied Nuts
(A creation by Michelle)

1 ½ c. chopped nuts (1 bag)
½ c. sugar
2 to 3 Tbsp. water

Coarsely chop nuts. Place in small saucepan. Add sugar and water. Cook on medium to medium low. Sugar water will be bubbling. Stir constantly until sugar has coated and crystallized.
