How to Make Crispy Glazed Corn Cereal Snack Mix
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
- Lightly grease a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Spread 6 cups of Kellogg's Crispex cereal (or similar) evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, and 1/2 cup light corn syrup.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil. Continue boiling for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon baking soda. The mixture will foam up – be careful!
- Carefully pour the hot syrup mixture over the cereal on the baking sheet.
- Gently toss to coat the cereal evenly.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes at 250°F (120°C), stirring every 15 minutes, until the glaze is set and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Once cooled, break the cereal clusters into smaller pieces.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
