Ingredients

• 12 cups Crispix cereal
• 1 cup Butter
• 2 cups Brown sugar
• 1 cup Light corn syrup
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups M&M's candies

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Measure 12 cups of Crispix cereal into a large, heatproof mixing bowl. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in 2 cups of brown sugar and 1 cup of light corn syrup. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to bubble gently—this should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully stir in 0.5 teaspoons of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. The mixture will foam up slightly—this is normal.

Step 5

Pour the hot caramel mixture over the Crispix cereal in the bowl. Use a spatula to gently but thoroughly toss the cereal, ensuring each piece is evenly coated in caramel.

Step 6

Spread the coated cereal evenly onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even coating and crispiness.

Step 7

Remove the baked cereal from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheets. The caramel will harden as it cools, creating a delicious crunch.

Step 8

Once cooled, transfer the caramel-coated Crispix to a large mixing bowl and gently fold in 2 cups of M&M's candies.

Step 9

Store the mix in an airtight container for up to one week, or serve immediately for a sweet, crunchy treat.
