Monday Made It Meet Me Eating - July 7 {Caramel Crunch}

My husband found a deal on cereal, so he bought a lot of it. Translation - There's a decent chance that it may go stale. So before we went out-of-town for the Fourth, I whipped up a quick batch of caramel crunch. Similar to caramel corn, it can be made with things you may already have in your kitchen.











Caramel Crunch

15 oz. box Corn/Rice Chex or Crispix
2 sticks butter
1/2 cup corn syrup
2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda

Pour cereal into large roasting pan. In saucepan, combine butter, corn syrup, brown sugar, and salt. Bring to rolling boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and baking soda. Stir well and pour over cereal. Put in 250˚F oven for 15 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes. Spread on waxed paper and cool.

  1. Yummmy! I have made something similar before, but used those "corn puffs" that you find in the chip aisle. I love anything carmel, especially if it is a little salty. Thanks so much for sharing!

  2. Hi Diane!
    That looks yummy! I actually have a blog question. How do you easily add pictures with the cute frames and captions on them? I find this to be tedious, there must be a faster way than what I'm doing! Love your blog!

  6. Caramel Crunch sounds like a delicious gluten-free treat. I always have cereal in the cupboard, so I may be making this soon.

  9. Those look yummy! My mom likes to make cornflake candies using peanut butter and cornflake cereal. They were sticky but really tasty!
