Ingredients
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 75 grams unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon golden syrup (optional, for a richer flavor)
- 4 cups puffed rice cereal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Directions
Step 1
1. Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper cupcake liners, or grease the tin lightly with butter for easy removal.
Step 2
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the honey, brown sugar, butter, and golden syrup (if using). Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to bubble and the sugar is completely dissolved (about 3-4 minutes).
Step 3
3. Once the mixture is bubbling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for an additional minute to form a light caramel. Be careful not to overcook, as the caramel can burn quickly.
Step 4
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the caramel cool slightly, about 30 seconds.
Step 5
5. In a large mixing bowl, place the puffed rice cereal. Pour the warm caramel mixture evenly over the cereal.
Step 6
6. Using a large spoon or spatula, gently fold the cereal into the caramel until it's fully coated. Be sure to work quickly, as the caramel will thicken as it cools.
Step 7
7. Divide the coated cereal mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, pressing it gently into each cup to create compact crackles. If desired, sprinkle the tops with colorful sprinkles for a fun finish.
Step 8
8. Allow the Honey Crackles to cool completely at room temperature (about 30 minutes) until they harden and set.
Step 9
9. Once set, remove the Honey Crackles from the tin and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
