Caramel Crispix

How to Make Caramel Crispix

• Start by lining a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. If you go with parchment paper I recommend spraying it with non-stick cooking spray to keep it from sticking.
• Pour Crispix cereal into a large bowl.
• Next, you’ll melt the butter on the stove in a tall pot over medium-high heat (it will double in volume after adding the baking soda at the end.) Add brown sugar to the pot. Bring it to a boil to fully dissolve the brown sugar while continuously whisking.
• Stir in the corn syrup and vanilla extract. Let it come to a boil again. Add baking soda and continue whisking until it becomes more foamy and doubles in volume. It will become a light tan color.
• Pour caramel mixture over Crispix in the bowl and stir to coat.
• To prevent clumping, stir again after a few minutes. Be careful not to stir too much or too vigorously because the cereal will crumble.
• Allow it to cool fully before adding it to an airtight container. I like to let mine sit out for at least an hour to fully dry and this helps prevent sticking once it’s in a container.
• It cools rather quickly. You’ll be able to package it up in no time (or start eating it!)
