Description
This is a really yummy alternative to the traditional chex mix. I cannot recall where exactly i got this recipe from, i wish i could remember so that i can thank the person. I love the combination of sliced almond and almond extract…add the coconut…yummy! I was initially concerned with how sticky this would be however; it came out terrific.
The original author gave this snack as a christmas gift to neighbors and provided a cute little note "we made a list and "chexed" it twice, to be sure we included our neighbors so nice".
I hope you enjoy this as much as i do.
