| 2 | Brown sugar |
| 2 | Butter |
| 1 – 2 | Karo syrup |
| 1 | Baking soda |
| 1/2 | Vanilla extract |
| 1 | Box of Crispex |
Instructions:
-
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (about 93 degrees Celsius).
- Grease or line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Prepare Crispex:
- Place the Crispex cereal in a large mixing bowl, and set it aside for later use.
-
Prepare Syrup Mixture:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it’s fully melted and bubbling.
- Add the brown sugar and Karo syrup to the melted butter, stirring continuously until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
-
Cook Syrup Mixture:
- Once the mixture starts boiling, continue stirring constantly for about 3 minutes. This helps to ensure that the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
-
Add Flavorings:
- After 3 minutes of boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Quickly stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Be cautious as the mixture may bubble vigorously when the baking soda is added.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Pour the hot syrup mixture over the Crispex cereal in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently toss and coat the cereal evenly with the syrup.
-
Bake:
- Spread the coated Crispex cereal evenly onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are in a single layer.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
-
Cool and Enjoy:
- Once baked, remove the Crispex Crunch from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheets.
- Once cooled, break the crunchy clusters into bite-sized pieces.
- Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Chef’s Tips:
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle a pinch of salt over the Crispex Crunch before baking.
- Customize your Crispex Crunch by adding your favorite nuts or dried fruits to the mix before baking.
- Ensure that the syrup mixture is fully cooked and reaches the desired consistency to achieve the perfect crunchy texture.
