Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup pure maple syrup
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
3 cups rice or corn cereal, such as Crispix or Chex

Remove from heat. Stir together remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Drizzle maple mixture over cereal mixture, stirring to evenly coat. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet.
