Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 300° F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, honey, and vanilla, if using, and let sit until the sugar has fully dissolved, tilting the pan to allow the sugar and butter to spread and prevent burning, about 3 minutes. If there are any clumps of brown sugar, crush them with a spatula. Stir very gently to allow any last clumps to dissolve, then remove the pan from heat.
- Add the cereal and fold gently to coat evenly without breaking.
- Spread the cereal in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool for 20 minutes.
- The cereal can be broken into smaller pieces to enjoy in a bowl with milk, or be kept in larger clusters to enjoy by hand as a snack.
- Enjoy!
