No calorie chex mix

Ok, so thats a complete lie. But it makes you feel better when you eat it.

1 box corn chex
1/2 box rice chex
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup

In a large bowl mix both flavors of chex. Set aside. In a saucepan, melt butter completly, and then add sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil, and boil for 1 minute. Pour over chex, and spread on wax paper to cool. Eat for lunch if you decide (not that I just did that...)

Are you ready for this?

That's right . . . They are all Christmas candies!! So, now that the entire ward has access to these, we shouldn't be surprised if some delicious delights show up on our doorsteps this holiday season.
