  • 2 cups (500 mL) CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH* cereal
  • 2 cups (500 mL) oats
  • 1 cup (250 mL) sliced almonds

  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) maple syrup or maple-flavoured syrup

Steps

    In 1-qt (1 L) saucepan, heat butter, brown sugar and syrup over medium heat, stirring frequently, until butter is melted and mixture boils. Pour over cereal mixture; stir until well coated. Spread mixture evenly on baking sheet with rubber spatula until about 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Success: The secret is not to stir the mixture the whole time it is baking and cooling. A sheet of brittle will form that can be broken into serving size pieces.
  • Tip 2
    Variation: Great with other nuts such as pecan, peanuts or cashews!
