How to Make Chai Crunch

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a 1-quart saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter over medium heat.

  4. In a 15x11 inch roasting pan, combine 6 cups of your favorite cereal (e.g., Cheerios, Rice Krispies).
  5. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the cereal.
  6. Toss gently to coat all the cereal pieces thoroughly.
