This was such a BIG hit last year that I’m posting the recipe again. They call it “Christmas Crack” on Pinterest. It’s the most delicious, crunchy, sweet, addictive holiday treat. It makes a lot so make sure you have a HUGE bowl to mix it up in and a couple of sheet pans to pour it out on. After my first experience making this last year, you MUST have a candy thermometer or it will be a soggy sticky (but still very delicious) mess! Don’t try to guess if it’s reached the correct soft ball consistency. Be warned… you will be a “Christmas Crack” addict after just one bite.

234 degrees on a candy thermometer. Pour over cereal mixture and stir until all

is well coated. Pour mixture out onto 2 large cookie sheets to cool. Stir it

I've been making a tweaked version of this recipe for years now for the Christmas Luncheon at work. Everybody loves it! Thanks for sharing :-)

I discovered this recipe on Pinterest about 4 years ago and I have been making it for my holiday "goodie bags" every since. A couple of friends were a little upset when I suggested not making them this year. Needless to say I will be making it next week.
