Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cups Crispix cereal
  • 2 cups pecan halves, salted preferred
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven Start by preheating your oven to 250ºF (121ºC), ensuring it’s ready for baking once the mixture is prepared.
  2. Mix Cereal and Pecans In a large mixing bowl, combine the Crispix cereal and pecan halves, setting them aside for later use.
  3. Prepare the Syrup In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Stir the mixture occasionally until it comes to a boil. After removing it from the heat, immediately stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda to the mixture.
  4. Combine Ingredients Pour the heated syrup over the cereal and pecans, stirring thoroughly to ensure even coating and distribution among the cereal and nuts.
  5. Bake the Mixture Spread the well-coated mixture evenly into a 9×13-inch baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for an hour, stirring every 20 minutes to promote even baking and prevent burning.
  6. Cooling Once baking is complete, spread the hot mixture onto wax or parchment paper to cool. This prevents sticking and keeps your delightful snack crispy. Allow it to cool completely before breaking it into bite-sized pieces.
