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
PREPARATION:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Prepare the Cereal and Nuts
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Crispix cereal and pecan halves. Set aside.
Step 3: Make the Praline Coating
In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
Let it boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract. The mixture will bubble up slightly—this is normal and helps create the light, crispy coating.
Step 4: Coat the Cereal and Nuts
Pour the praline mixture over the cereal and nuts in the bowl.
Gently stir with a spatula to coat everything evenly.
Step 5: Bake
Spread the coated mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even coating and prevent sticking.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and let the praline crunch cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, break into bite-sized pieces and transfer to an airtight container for storage.
