  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup

    8 cups Crispix cereal, 2 cup pecan halves
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla and baking soda. Pour over cereal mixture, tossing gently to coat evenly.

Notes

You can substitute Chex cereal (rice or corn) or Quaker Oatmeal Squares cereal for the Crispix.
If using unsalted butter add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the butter and sugar mixture.
Use a large roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet.
Storing - Pecan praline crunch mix is best stored in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature for up to 1 week.
