Ingredients

• 6 cups Corn Pops cereal
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Light corn syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Spread the Corn Pops cereal evenly over the prepared baking sheet and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and salt.

Step 4

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 5

Once the mixture comes to a boil, stop stirring and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Carefully pour the hot sugar mixture over the Corn Pops on the baking sheet, using a large spoon or spatula to gently toss and coat the cereal evenly.

Step 7

Spread the coated Corn Pops out into a single layer on the baking sheet.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, the sugary coating will harden.

Step 10

Once cooled, break apart any clumps and store the Sugared Corn Pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
