Coconut Chex Mix

We've been gearing up for a fun camping trip with some of the families in our ward. I love camping. Growing up it was our standard family activity. We went on multiple long camping trips every summer and many, many more smaller camping trips. Of all the things I learned from these vacations, the most important was that food is essential. Especially snack food. Coconut Chex Mix is insanely unhealthy, but no camping trip (or New Year's Eve) is complete without it.

1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Light Corn Syrup
2 Cubes Butter
1 tsp coconut extract
1 Large Box Chex Mix
1 Cup Coconut Flakes
Handful silvered almonds

Combine sugar, light corn syrup and butter in a sauce pan. Heat to a boil and let boil for two minutes, stirring constantly. Add coconut extract. Pour sugar mixture over the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Stir in coconut flakes and slivered almonds.

Store in a large tupperware.
