Why Christmas Crack Makes a Great Gift

Directions:
Spray a LARGE (the biggest you can find) bowl with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour cereal and coconut in a bowl Gently mix together.
Mix together the sugar, butter, light corn syrup, and dash of salt in a medium saucepan over high heat.
Bring to a full boil, turn heat down to medium, and cook for three minutes, stirring constantly. Add vanilla
Pour over the cereal mixture in the big bowl and stir evenly, or shake with lid on.
Spread cereal evenly on wax paper (I just spread the wax paper on my counter) add addtional toppings and let cool.
Once it cools, you can bag it up in little cellophane bags and share with neighbors and friends. Or put it in a bowl and dig in (I love when it’s WARM).
You can also store it in an airtight container or Ziploc bag and it lasts for a couple of days.
