Ingredients

• 12 cups Crispix cereal
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Light corn syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).

Step 2

Place the Crispix cereal into a large roasting pan or an extra-large mixing bowl. Set it aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 4

Once melted, add the brown sugar and light corn syrup to the pan. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Let it boil for 5 minutes while continuing to stir.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract. The mixture will foam up slightly—this is normal.

Step 7

Pour the hot caramel mixture evenly over the Crispix cereal in the roasting pan. Use a large spoon or spatula to gently toss and coat the cereal with the caramel.

Step 8

Transfer the coated cereal to the oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure all pieces are fully coated and evenly baked.

Step 9

Once done, remove the pan from the oven and let the Caramel Crispix cool completely. The caramel will harden as it cools.

Step 10

Break apart any large clusters and store the snack in an airtight container. Enjoy!
