Ingredients

• 12 cups Crispex cereal
• 2 cups Mixed nuts (optional)
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Light corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a very large mixing bowl, combine the Crispex cereal and mixed nuts, if using. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, light corn syrup, and salt. Continue stirring until the mixture starts to bubble.

Step 4

Let the caramel mixture boil gently for 5 minutes without stirring. Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will foam slightly.

Step 5

Immediately pour the hot caramel over the cereal and nuts in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula to gently toss and coat the cereal evenly with the caramel.

Step 6

Spread the coated cereal mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.

Step 7

Bake the mixture in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even coating.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the mixture cool completely. It will crisp up as it cools.

Step 9

Once cooled, break the mix into bite-sized clusters and store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Step 10

Serve as a snack or party treat and enjoy!
