Jessica's Cereal Treat

1 box Rice or Corn Chex
1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
2 cups coconut
1 bag slivered almonds
3/4 cup butter

Mix sugar, syrup and butter in pan. Boil 4 minutes exactly; add the cereal, coconut and almonds and stir well. Spread on oiled baking pan and let it set.

Jessica's Spiced Pecans

1 cup sugar
1/3 can evaporated milk
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 1/2 cups pecan halves, previously toasted at 350 F for 5-7 minutes

Cook top 3 ingredients until not quite softball stage (if the mixture thickens, the sugar will harden and will look grainy, not shiny). Then beat slightly. Pour in nuts and mix. Pour nuts onto wax paper and separate. Cool completely and store.
