Sinful praline crunch delight blends Southern charm with irresistible caramel and nutty layers of pure indulgence. Crunchy pecans and smooth cream create a dessert that whispers pure comfort and tempts you to savor each delectable bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 8 cups Crispix cereal
  • 2 cups pecan halves (salted preferred)

Sweeteners and Syrups:

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 1 cup butter

Flavor and Leavening Agents:

  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking soda

Instructions

  1. Ignite the oven to a precise 250ºF, creating an ideal thermal environment for transforming ingredients into a delectable crunch sensation.
  2. Tumble Crispix cereal and pecan halves into a spacious mixing vessel, gently folding them together to create a harmonious base texture.
  3. Construct a luscious caramel elixir by melding brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a simmering saucepan, coaxing the mixture to a rolling boil while stirring intermittently.
  4. Detach the caramel concoction from heat, swiftly whisking in vanilla extract and baking soda to generate a ethereal, frothy transformation.
  5. Cascade the molten caramel over the cereal and pecan medley, choreographing a thorough coating dance that ensures every morsel is gloriously enrobed.
  6. Distribute the glistening mixture into a sprawling 9×13-inch baking landscape, positioning it within the heated oven’s embrace.
  7. Orchestrate a careful rotation every 20 minutes during the one-hour baking ritual, preventing any potential scorching and guaranteeing uniform golden perfection.
  8. Liberate the crisp creation onto wax or parchment paper, allowing it to cool and set, then fragment into tempting bite-sized morsels ready for devouring.
