Ingredients

  • 1 box (12 oz) Crispix Cereal
  • 1 1/2 sticks Butter
  • 2 cups Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Corn Syrup
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda

Instructions

  1. Place the Crispix cereal in a large, microwave safe, bowl.

  2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter and then add in the brown sugar and corn syrup. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the ingredients combined.

  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the baking soda. Be careful as this causes the caramel to foam and expand slightly.

  4. Pour the caramel over the cereal in the mixing bowl. Stir gently.

  5. Microwave cereal for 4 minutes, stirring after each minute.

  6. After microwaving, pour the caramel covered cereal onto wax or parchment paper. Spread out into a single layer to cool.

  7. When cooled, break apart and store in an airtight container.

Recipe Notes

For an added touch- feel free to add in nuts or pretzels to the cereal before adding the caramel to the mixing bowl. Microwave as directed. 

And then once the cereal has cooled- you can add in M&Ms or other chocolate candies.
