With the perfect balance of caramelized sweetness and nutty crunch, this snack mix is a surefire crowd-pleaser that will keep you coming back for more. Get ready to learn the secret to creating this magical snack that’s been a favorite in our family for years.

“Every family has its culinary secret, that one recipe that instantly brings smiles to our faces. For us, that secret is the ‘Crack Snack.’ It all started when my husband and I discovered this incredible snack mix at a local fair. One bite was all it took to make us fall head over heels for the sweet and salty combination of flavors. Soon enough, we were determined to recreate this magic at home.

Over time, ‘Crack Snack’ became a staple in our household, a delightful treat we’d whip up for family movie nights, game days, and special celebrations. I’ll never forget the first time I made it for my little ones. Their eyes lit up, and they couldn’t get enough. It’s become a tradition, and we love making it together.

This snack mix is more than just a treat; it’s a bond that brings us together, creating unforgettable moments filled with laughter and the joy of indulging in something truly special. Now, I’m excited to share this family favorite with you.”

 “Why This ‘Crack Snack’ Recipe Stands Out”:

• Only four simple ingredients: You only need salted butter, brown sugar, Crispix cereal, and pecans, making this recipe incredibly easy to put together.
• Unforgettable sweet and salty combo: The combination of salted butter and brown sugar creates a deliciously addictive caramel that perfectly balances the nutty crunch of pecans and the crispiness of the cereal.
• Versatility and customization: You can easily modify this recipe by using different nuts, adding spices for a spicy twist, or incorporating other snacks like pretzels and crackers to suit your preferences.
• Family favorite: “Crack Snack” has become a beloved treat in our household, and it’s sure to become a staple in your family’s snack repertoire too.
• Ideal for gatherings: This snack mix is perfect for parties, game nights, or any occasion where you want to impress your guests with a unique and irresistible snack.

Ingredients:

(measured in grams and lbs):

• 454 grams (1 lb) salted butter
• 226 grams (8 ounces) brown sugar
• 340 grams (12 ounces) Crispix cereal (about 340 grams or 12 ounces)
• 170 grams (6 ounces) chopped pecans

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an extra-large baking sheet, or use two smaller ones, with foil and lightly spray them with cooking spray.
2. Spread the Crispix cereal and chopped pecans evenly on the prepared baking sheets. Set them aside.
3. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the salted butter and brown sugar. Stir continuously and allow the mixture to boil for two minutes.
4. Pour the caramel mixture over the cereal and nuts, tossing to ensure they are evenly coated.
5. Bake the mixture for 8 minutes, remove it from the oven, stir it, and then bake for an additional 8 minutes.
6. Allow the “Crack Snack” to cool on the baking sheets, breaking apart any large clumps with a wooden spoon or spatula.

Notes:

• To simplify cleanup, use foil or parchment paper to line your baking sheets.
• For a different twist, you can use unsalted butter and adjust the sweetness by adding a bit of salt to the caramel sauce.
• Stirring the mix halfway through the baking time ensures even toasting and prevents burning.
• You can also experiment with different nuts, such as peanuts, almonds, pistachios, walnuts, or mixed nuts.
• Get creative by adding other snacks like Cheez Its, Goldfish cheese crackers, pretzels, bagel chips, Bugles, or sesame sticks for a unique variation.
• If you enjoy a bit of heat, add a touch of cayenne to the butter mixture for a spicy version of this classic snack mix.
