How to Make Praline Pecan Crunch
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
- Combine 6 cups of your favorite cereal (like Rice Chex or Corn Chex) and 2 cups of pecan halves in a 13x9-inch baking pan. Set aside.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, and ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted margarine.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute 30 seconds. Stir well.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is boiling (approximately 1-2 minutes total).
- Remove from microwave and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon baking soda. The mixture will foam up – that's normal!
- Pour the hot praline mixture evenly over the cereal and pecan mixture in the baking pan.
- Stir gently to coat everything completely.
- Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
- Remove from oven and spread the praline pecan crunch onto a baking sheet to cool completely.
- Once cooled, break into pieces and enjoy! Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
