How to Make Caramel Cereal Crisps
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter over low heat.
- Add 1/2 cup (100g) light corn syrup, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 1/4 cup (60ml) water, and a pinch of salt.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches a full rolling boil.
- Continue to boil for exactly 3 minutes, or until the mixture reaches the firm-ball stage (240°F/115°C on a candy thermometer).
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in 6 cups (150g) of your favorite cereal (like Rice Krispies, Cheerios, or a mix!).
- Stir until the cereal is evenly coated in the caramel.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
- Quickly pour the cereal mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly using a spatula or greased hands (wearing a food-safe glove is recommended).
- Let the crisps cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
- Once cool, cut into squares and serve. Optional: Drizzle with melted chocolate chips after cooling.
