Mock Kataifi

This is by no means a replacement for the real thing, but if you want a fake bake Greek-inspired dessert then give this a try!

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup honey
3/4 - 1 cup water
1 or 2 cinnamon sticks
1/2 - 1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
4 muffets or shredded wheat cereal

Start by simmering the sugar, honey, water, cinnamon sticks and lemon juice in a pot for 15 minutes.

Place muffets in a baking dish and pour the hot syrup over top.

Let sit for about 1 hour on the counter, then turn them over and sprinkle chopped walnuts on top. If you want them sopping with syrup just double the syrup recipe and you probably won't have to flip them over. 

With less syrup the muffets stay a little crispy.
