Grandma Lila's Treat Mix

I love this treat mix, it's totally addictive and a snap to throw together.

Grandma Lila's Treat Mix

1 large box Rice Chex or Corn Chex cereal
1 large can mixed nuts of cashews
1 1/2 cups cups coconut
1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine
1/8 tsp. baking soda

In a large bowl combine the cereal, nuts and coconut and stir to mix. Set aside. I a large saucepan, combine the corn syrup, sugar and butter and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add the baking soda, stirring to mix well. Pour the hot mixture over the cereal mixture and stir until all pieces are well coated. Spread out on waxed paper to cool.
