Praline Crunch

Ingredients

• 8 cups Crispix cereal (or your favorite crunchy cereal)
• 2 cups pecan halves (or a mix of your favorite nuts)
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Crispix cereal and pecan halves. Set aside.
4. In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter.
5. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
6. Let it boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
7. Stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract. The mixture will bubble up slightly—this is normal and helps create the light, crispy coating.
