Ingrédients
Scale
Base Mix:
- 8 cups Crispix cereal (or Rice Chex)
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 1 cup pretzels (optional for extra saltiness)
Praline Glaze:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup light corn syrup
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Step 1 – Prep the Mix: Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). In a large roasting pan, combine Crispix, pecans, and pretzels. Set aside.
- Step 2 – Make the Praline Glaze: In a medium saucepan, melt butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and baking soda — the mixture will bubble up.
- Step 3 – Coat the Cereal: Immediately pour the hot glaze over the cereal mix. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated.
- Step 4 – Bake to Perfection: Spread evenly and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even coating.
- Step 5 – Cool & Break Apart: Remove from oven and spread onto parchment paper. Let cool completely, then break into chunks for serving or gifting.
Notes
💡 Pro Tip: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks — or gift in decorative jars during the holidays! You can also add M&Ms, coconut flakes, or almonds for extra crunch and flavor.
