Main Ingredients
- 1 cup raw or roasted, unsalted nuts (like almonds, cashews, or pecans)

- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup butter (or a halal alternative)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (ensure it’s halal)

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melting the Sugar
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, brown sugar, butter, and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until everything melts and the mixture starts to bubble.
Add Vanilla
- Once the mixture is bubbling, remove it from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Mix in Nuts and Cereal
- In a large bowl, combine the crispy rice cereal and nuts. Pour the melted sugar mixture over the cereal and nuts, stirring gently until evenly coated.
Spread and Bake
- Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down slightly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool and Enjoy
- Allow it to cool for a few minutes before breaking it into pieces. Let it cool completely to achieve the crunch factor before enjoying!
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for about a month. Add dried fruits, coconut flakes, or halal chocolate chips for extra flavor.
