Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add the honey and light brown sugar to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the sugar has dissolved completely and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornflakes, chopped almonds, and dried cranberries.
Pour the butter and sugar mixture over the cornflake mixture. Gently stir to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, creating small clusters. Leave space in between each cluster to allow them to bake evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the clusters are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. The clusters will harden as they cool.
Once cooled, store the cornflake clusters in an airtight container for up to one week.
