Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn flakes, pretzel pieces, and slivered almonds. Gently toss the ingredients together to mix evenly and set aside.
-
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the maple syrup, salt, and cinnamon. Stir the mixture well to ensure all ingredients are fully combined and heated through.
-
Pour the maple syrup mixture over the corn flakes, pretzels, and almonds in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula to gently fold and stir the ingredients until everything is well coated with the sweet and savory mixture.
-
Transfer the coated mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly in a single layer. Press it down slightly to form a cohesive layer.
-
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the Gold Nuggets are golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
-
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the Gold Nuggets cool completely. As they cool, they will firm up and become even more crunchy.
-
Break the cooled Gold Nuggets into smaller clusters and serve them in a bowl or arrange them on a decorative platter for easy snacking and sharing.
