Sweet almond chex mix

My friend Lori made this last Christmas for us.  I couldn't stop eating it.  I made it last night but didnt add the almonds and I don't have almond extract so I use vanilla.  It still is yummier than ever.

1 pkg. sliced almonds(sorry no size given)  how much to your liking
1 18 oz box Corn Chex Cereal (only Corn)
1 teaspoon almond extract (or vanilla)
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1 stick butter

Warm butter, sugar, corn syrup but don't boil.  Stir until sugar dissovles.  Pour on top of cereal.  Put onto 2 greased cookie sheets.  Bake at 250 for 10 minutes.  Stir and let cool.
