Irresistible Cheetos Crunch Bar Delight

Ingredients

- 6 cups Cheetos (crunchy style)
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon flaked sea salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 250°F (approximately 120°C).

2. Prepare Baking Sheet:
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring coverage of the entire surface. Set aside.

3. Create the Caramel Coating:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the salted butter, light corn syrup, and light brown sugar. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a boil.

4. Cook the Caramel:
Allow the caramel mixture to boil for 3 minutes without stirring. This helps to develop a smooth, rich caramel.

5. Add the Flavor:
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the flaked sea salt for a crisp hit of flavor.

6. Coat the Cheetos:
Place the Cheetos in a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot caramel over the Cheetos. Use a spatula to gently toss and coat them evenly until all Cheetos are well covered in caramel.

7. Bake for Perfection:
Spread the caramel-coated Cheetos onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even baking and crunchiness.

8. Cool and Break Apart:
Once baking is complete, remove the sheet from the oven. Allow the Cheetos to cool completely on the baking sheet, roughly 10 minutes. Once cool, break apart any clusters into smaller pieces for easy snacking.

9. Serve and Enjoy:
Transfer your Cheetos Crunch Bars to a serving dish or store in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
