Step 1

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, honey, ground cardamom, vanilla extract, and salt to the saucepan. Stir continuously and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully stir in the slivered almonds and puffed rice cereal, making sure to coat everything evenly.

Step 6

Quickly transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into a flat, even layer using a spatula.
