Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 boxes of family size Kellogg’s Corn Pops
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1 cup salted butter (2 sticks)
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) to prepare for baking the coated cereal.
  2. Prepare Cereal: Pour the 2 boxes of Kellogg’s Corn Pops into a large baking pan and set it aside while you prepare the caramel mixture.
  3. Make Caramel Sauce: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine 1/2 cup corn syrup, 1 cup salted butter, and 2 cups brown sugar. Stir quickly then leave to gently boil without stirring. When the mixture reaches a boil, set a timer for 3 minutes and let it boil gently without stirring.
  4. Add Flavor and Reaction: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Stir the mixture until it lightens in color, indicating it is ready.
  5. Combine Cereal and Caramel: Carefully pour the hot caramel mixture over the Corn Pops in the baking pan. Quickly but gently mix to ensure all cereal pieces are evenly coated without breaking them.
  6. Bake and Stir: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour at 250°F, stirring every 15 minutes using a wooden spoon to prevent clumping but maintaining the integrity of the cereal pieces.
  7. Cool and Serve: Once baking is complete, remove from oven and let the Corn Pop Crack cool completely before serving. Enjoy as a sweet crunchy snack!

Notes

  • Stir the caramel mixture gently and only when instructed to prevent crystallization.
  • Be careful when pouring the hot caramel over the cereal to avoid burns.
  • Use a wooden spoon to stir during baking to prevent breaking the cereal.
  • Store the cooled Corn Pop Crack in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness.
