Notes

Ensure every piece of cereal, nut, and pretzel is thoroughly covered with the butter-sugar mixture to prevent pockets of blandness. Slow baking is key; the low oven temperature allows the toffee to caramelize slowly, creating a deep, rich flavor. Stirring every 15 minutes distributes the heat and prevents burning. Once baked, spread the mix thinly on a baking sheet to cool, ensuring it hardens uniformly. Don’t rush the cooling process; letting it rest undisturbed will guarantee a crisp, not sticky, final product. Store in a completely airtight container to maintain its crunch and deliciousness for days.
