Create this addictive Praline Crunch Snack Mix featuring buttery pecans and crispy cereal coated in a sweet, caramelized glaze. It is a quick, no-bake treat perfect for snacking or holiday gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Crispix cereal
  • 2 cups pecan halves
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the Crispix cereal and pecans. Set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a full rolling boil. Let it boil for exactly one minute without stirring.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately. Stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda quickly; the mixture will foam up.
  5. Pour the hot praline mixture over the cereal and pecans in the large bowl. Gently fold everything together until the cereal and nuts are evenly coated. Work quickly.
  6. Spread the coated mixture in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir the mixture gently. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the Praline Crunch cool completely on the baking sheets before breaking it apart.

Notes

  • For a sweet and salty snack, add 1/2 teaspoon of coarse salt to the dry ingredients before coating.
  • This mix stores well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if desired.
