A delightful no-bake treat combining the rich flavors of peanut butter and coconut with a satisfying crunch.
Combine the light brown sugar and light corn syrup in a large saucepan.
Stir constantly to prevent the sugar from burning.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to boil.
Boiling ensures the sugar dissolves completely for a smooth texture.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and creamy peanut butter until smooth.
Adding these ingredients off the heat prevents the peanut butter from separating.
Fold in the crunchy cereal and shredded coconut until evenly coated.
Mix gently to avoid crushing the cereal too much.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a cookie sheet lined with non-stick spray.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
Allow the clusters to cool and set at room temperature.
Cooling ensures the clusters hold their shape.
Serve the clusters as a delightful snack or dessert.
Pair with a warm beverage for a comforting treat.
