Peppermint Chex Mix

I made this to deliver to neighbors. All I can say is YUM!!! I adapted this recipe from a recipe I found on A Thrifty Mom.com


Peppermint Chex Mix


14 cups of Chex (I used Corn Chex and a bit of Crispix)
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
¾ cup butter
1 cup crushed candy cane
Sprinkles to add a little festivity


In a large bowl combine cereal, sunflower seeds and coconut, set aside. Boil sugar, corn syrup and butter for 2 minutes (if you boil too long it will be hard candy rather a wonderful chewy mixture.) ````` Take off the stove and add the candy cane. Pour hot mixture over the cereal mixture and gently stir. Pour mixture on waxed paper to cool and add sprinkles. And enjoy!!
