Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1918\" data-end=\"2076\"><strong data-start=\"1918\" data-end=\"1944\">Step 2: Set the Cereal<\/strong><br data-start=\"1944\" data-end=\"1947\" \/>Pour the Honeycomb cereal into a large mixing bowl. Make sure the bowl is big enough to toss the cereal with the coating later.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2078\" data-end=\"2440\"><strong data-start=\"2078\" data-end=\"2104\">Step 3: Cook the Syrup<\/strong><br data-start=\"2104\" data-end=\"2107\" \/>In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Place over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a boil. Let it boil for 1\u20132 minutes, then remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will bubble slightly\u2014this is what gives it that light, crunchy texture.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2442\" data-end=\"2613\"><strong data-start=\"2442\" data-end=\"2469\">Step 4: Coat the Cereal<\/strong><br data-start=\"2469\" data-end=\"2472\" \/>Immediately pour the hot syrup mixture over the cereal. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently toss until all the cereal is evenly coated.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2615\" data-end=\"2784\"><strong data-start=\"2615\" data-end=\"2631\">Step 5: Bake<\/strong><br data-start=\"2631\" data-end=\"2634\" \/>Spread the coated cereal evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden and slightly crisp.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2786\" data-end=\"3036\"><strong data-start=\"2786\" data-end=\"2828\">Step 6: Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating<\/strong><br data-start=\"2828\" data-end=\"2831\" \/>While the cereal is baking, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. As soon as the cereal comes out of the oven, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over it and toss to coat evenly.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3038\" data-end=\"3235\"><strong data-start=\"3038\" data-end=\"3064\">Step 7: Cool and Enjoy<\/strong><br data-start=\"3064\" data-end=\"3067\" \/>Allow the Churro Snacks to cool completely on the baking sheet.
