Ingredients
Scale
- 8 cups Crispix cereal
- 2 cups pecan halves (salted)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 250ºF.
- In a large bowl, combine Crispix cereal and pecans.
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will bubble up.
- Pour the syrup over the cereal and pecans, tossing to coat evenly.
- Transfer the mixture to a 9×13-inch pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes to ensure even coating.
- After baking, remove the pan from the oven and spread the praline crunch onto parchment or wax paper to cool.
- Once cool, break the mixture into pieces and enjoy!
Notes
- Use a large saucepan to avoid spills when the syrup bubbles up.
- Stir the mixture every 20 minutes during baking to prevent burning.
- Cool completely before breaking into pieces to ensure a crispy texture.
- This treat can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week.
- You can substitute Chex cereal for Crispix if preferred.
