Ingredients
  

For the Caramel
  • 1 cup Butter Adds richness and smoothness to the caramel; substitute with vegan butter for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 cups Brown Sugar Contributes sweetness and depth to the caramel flavor; light brown sugar can be used if dark isn't available.
  • 1/2 cup Corn Syrup Helps create a smooth caramel texture; agave syrup or maple syrup can work instead.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances sweetness and aroma; opt for pure vanilla for the best taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda Creates a lighter, foamy texture in the caramel; no direct substitute.
For the Crunch
  • 6 cups Crispix Cereal Provides that satisfying crunch and essential base for the snack.

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Caramel Crispix
  1. Start by lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, pour in the Crispix cereal and gently break up any clumps.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and allow it to melt completely. Stir in the brown sugar until it reaches a boil, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Once boiling, mix in the corn syrup and vanilla extract.
  5. Add the baking soda to the caramel mixture and stir constantly for about a minute.
  6. Quickly pour the hot caramel mixture over the Crispix cereal and gently fold until coated.
  7. Transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature for about one hour.
