Description

Caramel clusters dance with sweet seduction, promising pure indulgence in every delightful bite. Rich, golden morsels melt on your palate, delivering a symphony of buttery warmth that lingers long after the last heavenly morsel vanishes.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 56 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

  1. Prepare workspace by lining two baking sheets with parchment paper, creating a smooth landing surface for the caramel clusters.
  2. In a spacious pot, gently heat milk, butter, and caramels over medium temperature, stirring consistently to create a uniform, glossy caramel mixture without scorching.
  3. 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.
  4. Utilize a tablespoon to craft uniform clusters, strategically depositing caramel-drenched cornflake mounds onto prepared baking sheets, maintaining approximately 1-inch dimensions.
  5. 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.
