Ingredients
- 6 cups Crispix cereal
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Pecans
- 1 cup Butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Light corn syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Crispix cereal, mini pretzels, and pecans. Gently toss to mix evenly.
Step 3
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, light corn syrup, and salt until well combined.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the baking soda. The mixture will foam slightly as it combines.
Step 6
Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the cereal mixture in the large bowl. Use a spatula or large spoon to gently toss and coat everything evenly.
Step 7
Spread the coated mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the tray, stir the mixture, and bake for another 5 minutes.
Step 9
Allow the mix to cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, the caramel will harden to create a crispy texture.
Step 10
Once cooled, break the mix into bite-sized pieces and store in an airtight container for up to a week.
