How to Make Caramel Crispix
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine 6 cups Crispix cereal, 1 cup pretzels (any kind), and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (your choice).
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter.
- Stir in 1 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/4 cup light corn syrup.
- Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly, and boil for exactly 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. The mixture will foam up.
- Immediately pour the caramel mixture over the cereal mixture in the large bowl and stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. Stir occasionally as it cools to prevent sticking and break it into clusters.
