gooey golden grahams and chex mix

Hi! It’s Jamie visiting from Prepared Housewives, here to share with you one of the most addictive snacks EVER!

Before you even begin making this, you need to think of a few friends you want to fatten up and plan to bring them some, because if you don’t, you might suddenly find yourself locked in your closet with the entire bowl (it’s happened before).

Gooey Golden Grahams & Chex Mix Recipe

You can mix in whatever you want, so it can be customized to exactly what you love! Be as creative or boring as you want, because it’s pretty much fail-proof!

Here’s is what I put in mine, but you have my permission to go as wild as you want with your Chex mix snack!

Chex Mix Ingredients:

  • 1 Box Corn Chex
  • 1 Box of Golden Grahams
  • 1 Cup Slivered Almonds
  • 2 Cups of M&Ms (sometimes I substitute with Reeces Pieces)
  • 2 Cups of Mini Marshmallows
  • OPTIONAL: Raisins, Chocolate Chips, Coconut, Snicker Pieces

Gooey Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1 Cup Light Corn Syrup
  • 1 1/2 Sticks (3/4 cup) Butter

Before you begin, one thing I do to save on clean-up time is tape foil & wax paper to the table. It makes mixing it all together a breeze and I can never seem to find a bowl big enough to fit everything in!

Once I have my table all ready I make a mountain with all the ingredients I want in my chex mix!

The kids immediately come-out of the woodwork when you reach this step 😉 It’s probably why I double my recipe most of the time, so I can make sure there is still some left after everyone is done picking at it.

Now Make the Ooey-Gooey Chex Mix Sauce

Mix the butter, sugar, and light corn syrup together in a pot over high heat!

Once everything comes to a boil go ahead and reduce the heat to medium (or else it will boil over and you’ll have a huge mess), and boil it for 3 minutes!

Once it’s done boiling, pour it over the cereal mixture, and stir it around until everything is coated evenly (or as close as you can get it).

As soon as it’s cool I bag it up into little cellophane bags and give it to neighbors, teachers, & skinny friends. I’ve even put my kids on the corner and made them sell some  – it’s never too early to start earning money for college 😉

If you need some extra things for your bake-sale, these Cake Pops were a huge hit too.

I’m pretty sure this stuff is banned in New York, and if not, it probably will be soon. So go ahead and make some now before it’s too late!
