Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 180 g rice square cereal provides a light, crispy base
  • 225 g butterscotch chips adds rich caramel-like flavor
  • 120 ml caramel sauce gives smooth sweetness and sticky coating
  • 56 g unsalted butter adds creaminess and helps bind ingredients
  • 5 tsp pure vanilla extract enhances aroma and flavor depth
  • 120 g powdered sugar coats for sweetness and texture
  • 50 g finely crushed graham crackers adds toasty crunch and cookie-like flavor
  • 150 g soft caramel candies adds chewy bursts of caramel

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Microwave-safe Bowl
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Place the rice cereal in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butterscotch chips, caramel sauce, and melted butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract to the melted mixture for added aroma.
  5. Pour the warm butterscotch-caramel mixture over the cereal. Gently fold the cereal with a rubber spatula until evenly coated, being careful not to crush it.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix powdered sugar and crushed graham crackers. Sprinkle this mixture over the coated cereal, tossing gently to cover all pieces. Work in batches to avoid clumping.
  7. Fold in the chopped soft caramel candies for chewy texture in every bite.
  8. Spread the coated cereal on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Let it cool and set for 30 minutes.
  9. Once cooled, transfer to a serving bowl or airtight container for storage.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt on top before serving.
