Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup slivered almonds
- 2 cups puffed rice cereal
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the granulated sugar, honey, ground cardamom, vanilla extract, and salt to the saucepan. Stir continuously and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes, or until it turns a light amber color and slightly thickens. Be careful not to let it burn.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully stir in the slivered almonds and puffed rice cereal, making sure to coat everything evenly.
Quickly transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into a flat, even layer using a spatula.
Let the mixture cool completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes. Once hardened, break it into bite-sized pieces.
Store the Honey Cardamom Crunch in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
