Honeycomb Churro Snacks Recipe

Ingredients:

• 5 cups Honeycomb cereal
• ⅔ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup butter (1 stick)
• ⅓ cup corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Prepare the caramel mixture: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and corn syrup, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
2. Boil the caramel: Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once it turns a rich caramel color, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda.
3. Coat the cereal: Pour the Honeycomb cereal into a large mixing bowl. Immediately pour the caramel mixture over the cereal and toss until all the pieces are evenly coated.
4. Bake: Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Spread the coated cereal in a single layer on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
5. Cinnamon-sugar coating: While the cereal is baking, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Once the cereal is done baking, remove it from the oven and toss it with the cinnamon-sugar mixture while it’s still warm.
6. Cool and enjoy: Let the cereal cool completely before serving. Once cooled, the Honeycomb Churro Snacks will be perfectly crisp and ready to enjoy!
