Ingredients

1 18-ounce box Crispix cereal
1/2 pound pecan halves (about 2 cups)
1 cup butter
2 1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200°F.
In a large mixing bowl, add the cereal and pecans. Set aside.
1 18-ounce box Crispix cereal, 1/2 pound pecan halves
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup. Cook on medium-high heat until it comes to a boil.
1 cup butter, 2 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup corn syrup
Reduce the heat to low-medium and let the mixture boil for 5 minutes; remove from the heat.
Stir in the vanilla and salt.
1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon salt
Pour the mixture over the cereal and pecans and stir until the pieces are evenly coated, being careful not to crush the cereal.
Divide the mixture between two sheet pans* and spread out evenly.
Bake for 1 hour, stirring each pan of praline crunch every 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and give each pan a good stir (this will help prevent big clumps).
Let cool and store in an airtight container.

Notes

*The sheet pans do NOT need to be greased or buttered, as the butter in the syrup mixture will keep it from sticking to the pan. However, you can certainly line the pan with parchment paper for super easy clean-up!
