Praline Crunch Snack Mix

This snack mix is coated in a simple brown sugar and butter sauce that adds the perfect touch of sweetness. We love to serve this at parties - the bowl disappears quickly and everyone asks for the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 8 cups Crispix cereal
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with foil and spray with non-stick spray.
  • Pour the half of the cereal onto each sheet pan and sprinkle evenly with the pecans.
  • Add the butter and brown sugar to a small sauce pan over medium low heat and let melt, stirring often. Bring mixture to a boil and boil for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Pour the brown sugar mixture evenly over the cereal and nuts and stir gently to combine.
  • Bake for 10 minutes and then carefully stir the mixture. Bake for 5 more minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Break apart any large chunks and serve immediately or store in an airtight bag until ready to enjoy. Stays fresh for about 1 week.

Notes

This recipe lasts for at least a week in an airtight container and may be fine longer - we always eat it too fast to test.
