Addiction

This is my Mothers all time most requested treat. It's so good you can't stop eating it!! Of course that's why it's called "Addiction". I have tried many recipes and for some reason no one can hold a candle to my Moms, so i thought i would share it.

Ingredients:

3 cubes butter

2 cups. White Sugar

2 cups. Karo Sugar

1 Box White Chex

1 Box Golden Grahams

3 cups. Fresh shaved Coconut (you can find this at a health food store)

4 cups. Cooked Almonds

Directions:

Melt butter, sugar, and Karo in a large pan. Mix well until it boils then DON'T stir. Let it boil together for 3 minutes. In a separate bowl (or two large bowls) mix the white chex, golden grahams, coconut, and almonds. Dividing evenly if using to large bowls. Once the topping has boiled for 3 min. Pour over the top of each bowl gradually adding more. If you add too much they will get soggy. Once you have mixed each bowl well, layout the mix on two cookie sheets to cool. Then dig in!! It makes enough for a whole party!!
