Ingredients

1 package (17.6 ounces) Rice Chex

2-3/4 cups sliced almonds

1 cup sugar

1 cup light corn syrup

3/4 cup butter, cubed

1 teaspoon almond extract

Directions

• Place cereal and almonds in a large bowl; set aside. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until a candy thermometer reads 250° to 266° (hard-ball stage).
• Remove from the heat; stir in extract. Pour over cereal mixture; mix well. Spread onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets; cool. Toss to break apart. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 5 quarts.

Editor's FootNote:

• We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.
