Island Vacation Party Mix

This was gone before I could get a picture! I found the recipe in a Taste of Home shower food section and thought that it looked pretty good. I made some modifications to the recipe and it was so good. It was great to have a crunchy mix to snack on!

Island Vacation Party Mix

2 1/2 cups Corn Chex
2 1/2 cups Rice Chex
1-2 cups Macadamia nuts (I buy them in bulk and put in about 1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup butter, cubed
2 T. sugar
2 T. corn syrup
1 cup coconut
1 cup white baking chips
1/2 cup chocolate chips (not in the original recipe)
(Optional: I didn't add, because of personal preference: 6 oz package dried chopped pineapple)

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine cereals and nuts; set aside. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, sugar and corn syrup. Microwave, uncovered on high for 2 minutes, stirring once. Pour over cereal mixture and toss to coat.

Cook cereal mixture, uncovered on high for 2 minutes, stirring once. Add coconut; cook 2 minutes longer, stirring once. Stir in white chocolate chips, then stir in chocolate chips. Add in pineapple if desired. Let cool and then enjoy!
