Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cheerios cereal
- 1 cup Honey
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 0.5 cup Optional: Chocolate chips or nuts
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a large, non-stick saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, butter, and brown sugar. Stir frequently until the mixture comes to a light boil and the sugar has dissolved completely, about 3-5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix well to combine.
Add the Cheerios cereal to the saucepan and gently fold until the cereal is evenly coated with the honey mixture.
If adding chocolate chips or nuts, fold them in at this stage, ensuring even distribution.
Pour the coated Cheerios mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out into an even layer. Allow the mixture to cool and set for about 20-30 minutes at room temperature.
Once cooled and hardened, break the Cheerios Crunch into bite-sized clusters. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
