Praline Crunch is a sweet, caramelized snack mix that combines cereal and pecans into a gourmet confection. Enrobing Crispix cereal and buttery pecan halves in a boiled brown sugar glaze delivers the classic flavor profile of Southern pralines with a satisfying crunch.
Baking the mix at a low temperature dries the coating, creating a light, aerated candy shell that stays crisp for weeks without becoming sticky or tough.
