Gooey Almond Chex Mix

This stuff if pretty addictive.  So, I only make it when I know it will be shared.  It makes a ton and I could easily eat it all by myself.  So to spare myself, I make it for gatherings.  My dad makes this and I have always loved it!  However, my hubs isn't a huge coconut fan.   I knew it wouldn't be eaten if I put it in, so I left it out.  But it is great with it as well.  Enjoy!
