Set out a large mixing bowl. Add the cereals, almonds, and coconut and stir it all together.
Add the sugar, corn syrup, and butter to a saucepan. Heat over medium-high and bring to a boil. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring continuously. Pull the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
Pour the vanilla butter sauce over the cereal mix. Toss to coat with a spatula.
Spread the Chex mix onto large sheets of parchment paper so it can cool in a mostly-even layer. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
How to Toast the Almonds (Optional)
If you would like to toast the almonds before you make the Chex Mix, preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 2 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Watch them closely, they can burn quickly. Let them cool briefly and then add them to the cereal mix before coating with the vanilla butter sauce.
