Churro Snack Mix

 

INGREDIENTS

  

• 5 cups Honeycomb cereal
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter 1 stick
• 1/3 cup corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

 

• Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Pour the cereal into a large bowl and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, then continue to cook for an additional minute.
• Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla and baking soda. Be prepared for some bubbling as it foams up.
• Pour the caramel mixture over the cereal, stirring to coat everything evenly.
• In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the cereal, tossing until everything is coated.
• Spread the coated cereal onto your prepared baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes, stirring halfway through for even crisping.
• Let the snack mix cool completely before breaking it into clusters. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
