Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 cups cereal
- 1/4 cup almonds roasted, unsalted
- 1/4 cup cranberries
Instructions
- Line a 8 x 8 dish with parchment paper so that it hangs out of the pan.
- In a large bowl, combine cereal, almonds and cranberries and set aside.
- In a small saucepan melt butter, sugar honey, salt and cinnamon on medium-high heat until it reaches a bubbling boil. Continue to stir for 1 minute. The mixture will be frothy. Remove from heat and immediately pour over cereal mixture. Stir until well combined. Press the cereal mixture into the prepared pan using your dampened fingers or a piece of wax/parchment paper. Press mixture until it is even and flat. Let it cool and harden (10-15 minutes). Lift out parchment paper from pan, and cut into individual bars.
- Store in an airtight container.

Notes
- Watch the butter/sugar/honey mixture carefully and avoid over cooking. Otherwise, it will form a coat that will harden immediately, not allowing you to cover the cereal well.
