1-Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining your baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2-Combine cereals: First, combine the 4 cups of rice cereal and 4 cups of corn cereal in a large bowl to create the base.

3-Mix cinnamon sugar: In a medium bowl, mix 1/2 cup of sugar with 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon until well blended.

4-Prepare glaze: Then, in a saucepan over medium heat, bring the 3/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, and 1/4 cup of light corn syrup to a boil, stirring continuously for 1 minute to ensure it’s smooth and bubbly.

5-Stir in baking soda: Once it’s boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, which will make the mixture foam up a bit.

6-Coat cereals: Pour this warm mix over the cereals in the large bowl and toss everything gently to coat each piece evenly.

7-Bake initial: Spread the coated cereal onto your prepared baking sheets, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top, and bake for 6 minutes.

8-Finish baking: After the initial bake, flip the cereal pieces to ensure even browning and pop it back in the oven for another 2-3 minutes until it’s golden brown.

9-Cool and store: Let it cool completely on the sheets, then break it into bite-sized pieces and store in an airtight container.
