Samoa Chex™ Mix

Steps

• 1

  Preheat oven to 325° F. Spread coconut evenly onto a cookie sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes until lightly toasted.
• 2

  Pour Rice Chex™ cereal into a clean brown paper grocery sack.
• 3

  Place butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt in a large microwave-safe bowl and cook on high for 2 1/2 minutes. Stir and cook an additional 90 seconds.
• 4

  Remove from microwave and carefully stir in baking soda (mixture will become frothy).
• 5

  Immediately pour over Chex™ cereal in the paper bag. Stir gently to coat cereal... Fold top of bag down and place in microwave.
• 6

  Cook for 3 minutes on high, stopping each minute to take the bag out and shake it. Remove from microwave and spread on greased cookie sheets to cool.
• 7

  Sprinkle 1 cup coconut over mixture while still warm (so it will stick to the cereal).
• 8

  While cereal is cooling, place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and cook on high at 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
• 9

  Pour chocolate over cooled cereal mixture and stir gently until completely coated. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup coconut.
• 10

  When completely cooled, break into pieces and store in a sealed container at room temperature.
