Description
A delicious and crunchy cereal treat made with Rice Chex, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 cups Rice Chex cereal
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated white sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 275°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together ¼ cup granulated sugar and 2 tsp ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a glass measuring cup, melt ½ cup butter in the microwave.
- Stir in ½ cup brown sugar, then microwave for 20–30 seconds. Whisk well.
- Microwave again for 20–30 seconds, watching carefully so it doesn’t bubble over. Whisk until smooth and glossy. Repeat once more if needed until it resembles a loose caramel sauce.
- Pour 8 cups Rice Chex cereal into a large bowl. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the cereal and gently fold until evenly coated.
- Spread the coated cereal onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake at 275°F for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, lifting and turning the cereal with a spatula.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving. The mix will crisp up as it cools.
