A good friend shared this recipe with me, and it was already delicious. Then I kicked it up a notch by toasting the coconut and almonds, and it became absolutely irresistible! Great finger food for watching football and parties!
Ingredients
- 1 package sweetened shredded coconut , 14 ounce
- 2 packages slivered almonds , 6 ounce
- 1 box crispy rice cereal squares , 14 ounce
- 1 box honey graham cereal , 12 ounce
- 2 cups white sugar
- 2 cups corn syrup
- 1.5 cups unsalted butter
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
2
Spread coconut on a baking sheet. Spread almonds on a separate baking sheet.
-
3
Bake coconut and almonds in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove baking sheets from the oven and stir. Continue baking, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes, until coconut and almonds are golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes total.
-
4
Combine coconut, almonds, rice cereal, and honey graham cereal together in a large bowl. Set aside.
-
5
Bring white sugar, corn syrup, and butter to a boil in a saucepan. Heat to 240 degrees F (115 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from water and placed on a flat surface, about 10 minutes.
-
6
Pour sugar-butter mixture over cereal mixture and stir until well coated. Divide mixture between 2 baking sheets to cool, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping.

Chiacchiere with Sanguinaccio
'Chiacchiere' is a dessert that is fried and sprinkled with confectioners' sugar and served with sanguinaccio. It is a traditional Italian dessert in the region of Campagnia, served during 'carnevale' or as we say Mardi Gras. It is served with 'sanguinaccio' a chocolate sauce used for dipping the 'chiacchiere'. Years ago the sanguinaccio was made with chocolate and pig's blood, but now the use of the blood has been banned due to health concerns, but in small villages across Italy it is still used.
