Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 5–6 cups cornflakes
- 14 ounces (397 grams) Kraft caramels, wrappers removed
Dairy Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) milk
Instructions
- Prepare workspace by lining two baking sheets with parchment paper, creating a smooth landing surface for the caramel clusters.
- In a spacious pot, gently heat milk, butter, and caramels over medium temperature, stirring consistently to create a uniform, glossy caramel mixture without scorching.
- Once caramel transforms into a silky consistency, gradually fold in cornflakes, ensuring each crisp morsel receives a luxurious caramel coating. Adjust cornflake quantity for optimal coverage.
- Utilize a tablespoon to craft uniform clusters, strategically depositing caramel-drenched cornflake mounds onto prepared baking sheets, maintaining approximately 1-inch dimensions.
- Allow clusters to naturally cool and solidify at room temperature, transforming into delectable, chewy treats with a perfect texture. Transfer to an airtight container, layering with parchment paper to prevent adhesion between clusters.
Notes
- Prevent Sticking Use a non-stick silicone spatula when mixing caramel and cornflakes to ensure even coating without clumping.
- Customize Texture Adjust cornflake quantity based on desired crunchiness – less cornflakes create softer clusters, more cornflakes result in crispier treats.
- Temperature Control Maintain medium-low heat while melting caramel mixture to avoid burning and ensure smooth, glossy consistency.
- Dietary Adaptations Swap regular cornflakes with gluten-free alternatives for celiac-friendly version, or use dairy-free butter and milk substitutes for vegan option.
