Ingredients

5 ½ cups Honeycomb Cereal
⅔ cup brown sugar
½ cup butter
⅓ cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, sift together the granulated sugar and cinnamon, then set aside.
Pour the cereal into a large heat proof mixing bowl.
In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Stir constantly as you bring the mixture to a boil, then continue cooking for 1 more minute. Remove the pan from heat and carefully stir in the vanilla and baking soda—the mixture will bubble and expand.
Immediately pour this hot mixture over the cereal and toss until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the cereal and toss again to cover each piece.
Spread the coated cereal onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.
Allow the cereal to cool completely before breaking it into bite-sized clusters. Store in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
