How to make Praline Crunch Snack Mix
This is basically Crispix chex mix with caramel and pecans. It’s so easy to make you just might want to double the recipe.
Some people use oatmeal squares instead, we prefer the Crispix lighter texture.
Preheat the oven to 250ºF. Lightly coat a baking sheet or roasting pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl combine the cereal and pecans.

Place a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the dark brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Also try our Ranch Party Mix recipe!

Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the vanilla and baking soda.
Pour over the cereal mixture and stir to coat evenly.
Spread the mixture evenly in the baking pan.

Bake 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Once cooled break into pieces and serve.
This is the perfect sweet and salty afternoon snack. It’s also great to take to parties, gatherings, and give as gifts!

December 6, 2020The Praline Crunch recipe for Crispix that I have suggested using a large sauce pan because it bubbles up when adding the Baking Soda. I made a batch and it didn’t even fizz / no bubbles at all. So I bought all new ingredients. Made it again with the same non-fizzing, no bubbling results. What might the problem be?

December 7, 2020Baking soda is meant to produce bubbles when mixed with an acidic ingredient. Check baking soda by dripping a few drops of vinegar or lemon juice onto a small amount (1/4 teaspoon) of baking soda. The baking soda should bubble vigorously. If you don’t see a lot of bubbles, it’s time to replace your baking soda.
With that being said there is no “acid” in their recipe, nor mine. So you won’t get a vigorous reaction but it will bubble a little, enough that you will notice it. It should look like the second picture in our post. I hope this helps.
