Tips for Making Caramel Cereal Treats
- Use fresh cereal. Stale cereal will not hold together as well and will make your treats less chewy.
- Don't overcook the caramel. If you cook it for too long, it will become hard and brittle. The caramel should be a light amber color.
- Let the caramel cool slightly before adding the cereal. If you add the cereal to the hot caramel, it will melt and make your treats too soft.
- Press the cereal mixture firmly into the pan. This will help to hold the treats together.
- Let the treats cool completely before cutting them. If you cut them too soon, they will be crumbly and difficult to handle.
Conclusion
