Ingredients

  • 9 cups Crispix Cereal
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 stick salted butter
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with foil, and spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl combine cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.
  • Pour cereal into a large bowl.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat melt together butter, brown sugar and corn syrup until mixture comes to a boil. Boil for one minute stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda. The mixture will foam up.
  • Pour mixture over cereal and carefully stir until cereal is well coated.
  • Spread the coated cereal evenly on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture, flipping it over halfway through the mixture, to coat the other side.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, flip the mixture over and bake for 3 minutes more. The cereal will be a golden brown.
  • Remove from oven, cool completely and store in an airtight container.
