Seems like May marks the beginning of the end:  end of school year activities, parties, and graduation.  Of course it also means summer is right around the corner, and that means campouts, road trips, family reunions, and more parties!    Here is your perfect party mix – It makes enough to feed the entire crowd –   Be warned however, it is highly addictive!

Sweet & Crunchy Munch Mix

Ingredients:

1 Box (12 oz) Gold Grahams  Cereal
4 Cups Chex Corn Cereal
4 Cups Chex Rice Cereal
1 Package (2 oz) Sliced Almonds
1/2 Cup Coconut

1 Cube Butter or Margarine
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Karo Syrup
1/2 Cup Peanut Butter

1 Cup Milk Chocolate Chips

Directions:

Lightly butter two large jelly roll pans.

Mix the Cereals, Almonds, and Coconut in a large mixing bowl (at least 6 quart), set aside. 

Melt the Butter, Sugar, Syrup and Peanut Butter together in a sauce pan.  Heat on Medium High heat, stirring constantly until it comes to a boil. Let boil 2 minutes.

Slowly pour the sugar mixture over the cereal mix – gently stir to coat.  Now add the chocolate chips (mixture should still be warm enough to melt them a little).

Pour out the mixture onto the jelly roll pans and spread out so it doesn’t all stick together. 

When cool store in an airtight container.

Now you’re ready to get the party started and have fun!
