A highly addictive and indulgent sweet snack made with a homemade caramel sauce that coats Crispix cereal!

Best Caramel Crispix

It can be really tempting to graze on all of the food in my kitchen. To make sure I don’t, I look at it as art not food. I try, and sometimes fail, to just ignore that it’s actually edible. On the other hand, it’s really hard to come up with descriptive words without tasting it!

I failed to resist grabbing a piece of this Caramel Crispix, and was that ever a huge mistake! This stuff is highly addictive! It’s the perfect sweet snack, too perfect actually. Every bite leaves you wanting more! I knew right away this stuff had to go or I was going to regret it. I bagged it up as fast as I could to donate it to a bake sale our church is having at a Fall Fest this weekend!

This stuff isn’t the only addicting snack around here! You’ll find yourself not being able to resist Christmas Crack, Chex Scotcheroos, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites, too!

What You’ll Need:

• 1 (18 oz) box Crispix Cereal
• 1 cup Butter
• 2 cups Brown Sugar
• 1/2 cup Corn Syrup
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla
• 1/2 tsp Baking Soda

How to Make Caramel Crispix

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Pour 1 (18 oz) box of Crispix cereal in a large bowl.
• Melt 1 cup butter in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add 2 cups brown sugar and constantly stir until boiling.
• Once boiling, stir in 1/2 cup corn syrup and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Bring to a boil again while continuing to stir.
• Add 1/2 tsp baking soda, continuing to stir until it becomes foamy and doubles in size. It will become a light tan color.
• Pour mixture over the Crispix cereal and stir until well coated.
• Spread the coated cereal on the parchment paper and let completely cool. Letting it set for about an hour helps to prevent stickiness.
