Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 cups Cornflakes
- 1 cup Almonds, sliced
- 1 cup Pecans, chopped
- 1 cup Cashews
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the light brown sugar and honey until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt carefully, as the mixture may bubble up.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornflakes, sliced almonds, chopped pecans, and cashews.
Pour the caramel mixture over the cereal and nuts, stirring gently with a spatula to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, creating a thin layer.
Bake for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and allow the mixture to cool completely on the baking sheet. The caramel will harden as it cools.
Once the mixture is cool and crisp, break it into bite-sized clusters and store in an airtight container for up to a week.
