Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 cups Cornflakes
- 1 cup Almonds, sliced
- 1 cup Pecans, chopped
- 1 cup Cashews
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the light brown sugar and honey until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt carefully, as the mixture may bubble up.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornflakes, sliced almonds, chopped pecans, and cashews.
Step 5
Pour the caramel mixture over the cereal and nuts, stirring gently with a spatula to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 6
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, creating a thin layer.
Step 7
Bake for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow the mixture to cool completely on the baking sheet. The caramel will harden as it cools.
Step 9
Once the mixture is cool and crisp, break it into bite-sized clusters and store in an airtight container for up to a week.
