Christmas Crack Mix (Canadian Style)

You must try this Christmas Crack (also known as Merry Crisp Mix)! It truly lives up to its name as it is very addicting! It is great to give for gifts to coworkers or as a hostess gift. 

Ingredients:
1 box (350 grams)Crispix cereal
1 box (350 grams) Golden Graham cereal
2 cups shredded coconut
1 cup slivered almonds
1 ½ cups butter
2 cups sugar
2 cups corn syrup
Optional - add m&m's to the mix while it is still sticky

Directions:
Combine cereals, coconut, almonds in a large bowl. In a saucepan combine butter, sugar and corn syrup and cook on medium heat to the soft ball stage (235 degrees F) on the candy thermometer. Pour the sugar butter mixture over the cereal mixture and stir until well coated. Spread out mixture between two cookie sheets and cool. Stir around occasionally to prevent clumping. It will take about 2 hours to completely set. Store in a airtight container.
