Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups cornflakes cereal
- 1 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon natural nut-free nut flavoring
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, butter, vanilla extract, natural nut-free nut flavoring, and salt.
Stir the mixture continuously until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring. Once simmering, remove it from the heat.
Place the cornflakes cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey mixture over the cornflakes.
Gently toss the cornflakes with the honey mixture until they are evenly coated.
Spread the coated cornflakes evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Allow the honey nut cornflakes to cool on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the cornflakes to an airtight container for storage.
Serve with milk or enjoy as a crunchy snack.
