Helpful Tips

Using a large mixing bowl will make mixing all the ingredients easier without making a mess.
Using a silicone spatula to mix the ingredients together will help to prevent the mixture from sticking to the sides of the bowl.
Stir the mixture every 10-15 minutes while baking this will help to ensure that the mixture cooks evenly and that it doesn’t burn.
Let the mixture cool completely before serving, this will allow the glaze to harden and will give the mixture a crunchy texture.
