📝 Ingredients

Ingredient	Amount

Brown sugar	⅔ cup
Butter	½ cup (1 stick)
Corn syrup	⅓ cup
Vanilla extract	1 teaspoon
Baking soda	¼ teaspoon
Granulated sugar	½ cup
Ground cinnamon	1 ½ teaspoons

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Set Up the Base

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare a Pan: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Measure Cereal: Pour 5 cups of Honeycomb cereal into a large bowl and set it aside.

Step 2: Make the Caramel Sauce

Combine in Saucepan: In a medium saucepan, mix the brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup.
Bring to a Boil: Stir over medium heat until the mixture starts bubbling. Let it boil for 2 minutes.
Add Final Touches: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. It will foam up—this is normal!

Step 3: Coat & Bake

Mix with Cereal: Pour the hot caramel mixture over the cereal. Gently stir to coat everything evenly.
Spread Out: Transfer the coated cereal to the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a single layer.
Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, stirring once halfway through for even crisping.

Step 4: Add Churro Flavor

Mix Cinnamon-Sugar: In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
Sprinkle on Top: While the cereal is still hot from the oven, immediately toss it with the cinnamon-sugar mix until fully coated.

Step 5: Cool & Enjoy

Let Cool: Allow the churro cereal mix to cool completely on the pan.
Store or Serve: Once cooled, transfer to a bowl for snacking or an airtight container to store.
