Golden Graham Chex Mix - A Sweet and Sticky Irresistible Treat
When I make this, the whole family will keep snitching at it all day. I mean, I couldn't even get pictures without one of the kids trying to grab some!There are not many things that my whole family can agree upon when it comes to food. I have a couple finicky eaters. But we all agree that this sweet Chex mix recipe is the best!
We've had a long standing tradition of chex mix at Holiday functions. But when our neighbors brought us over some with Golden Grahams in it, I knew it was time to change up the recipe.
The obvious difference is the Golden Grahams. There was something else too that made theirs over the top. I'm pretty sure I figured out their secret ingredient.... almond extract!
If you've never had a sweet and sticky type chex mix, you have GOT to try this! This Golden Graham snack mix is definitely a keeper.

Sweet Chex Mix Recipe
Yield: 24
prep time: 20 Mcook time: total time: 20 M
I would like to introduce you to the most irresistible treat of all time. Graham Chex Mix! This mix is a combination of Chex cereals and graham cereal, covered with a sticky coating of sweet deliciousness, and topped with sliced almonds.
ingredients:
- 8 c. rice Chex
- 8 c. corn Chex
- 8 c. Golden Grahams
- 2 c. almonds, sliced or slivered
- 2 c. sugar
- 2 c. corn syrup
- 1 c. butter
- 1 t. vanilla extract
- 1 t. almond extract
- Optional add-ins: shredded coconut, other types of nuts, M&M's, etc.
instructions:
How to cook Golden Graham Chex Mix
- Pour cereal, almonds and any additional mix-ins into two large mixing bowls, half in each bowl.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter, add sugar and corn syrup. Mix and boil for 2 minutes over medium high heat. Remove from heat and add vanilla and almond extract to syrup mixture.
- Pour half of this mixture into each bowl of cereal. Stir until all the cereal is coated.
- Pour onto parchment lined baking sheets to cool. This prevents over-stickiness and keeps it from sticking together on one large clump in the bowl.
NOTES:
To reduce costs, I use the generic brand cereals.
