Golden Crunch Honeycomb Snack Mix

Ingredients

- 6 cups Honeycomb Cereal
- 1 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1/4 cup Light Corn Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 tablespoon Cinnamon Sugar

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Measure out 6 cups of Honeycomb Cereal and place it in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

2. Melt the Sugar Mixture:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of light brown sugar, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, and 1/4 cup of light corn syrup.
- Stir the mixture occasionally until the butter is completely melted and the ingredients are well combined.

3. Boil and Add Vanilla:
- Allow the mixture to come to a boil, continuing to stir gently. Once it's boiling, let it cook for 2 minutes without stirring.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

4. Incorporate Baking Soda:
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the sugar mixture. Stir vigorously as the mixture will foam up slightly due to the reaction with baking soda. This adds a light, airy texture to the syrup.

5. Combine with Cereal:
- Immediately pour the foamy syrup over the Honeycomb Cereal in the large bowl, gently tossing to ensure even coating of all cereal pieces.

6. Finish with Cinnamon Sugar:
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cinnamon sugar over the coated cereal, tossing again to ensure each piece is evenly dusted with the sweet, spicy blend.

7. Cool and Serve:
- Spread the cereal mix onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow the mix to cool completely at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
- Once cooled, break into clusters and enjoy as a delightful, crunchy snack!
