Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 454 g 16 oz Crispix cereal
  • 454 g 16 oz pecan halves (salted)
  • 110 g 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 120 ml 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 113 g 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 121°C (250°F).
  2. In a large bowl, combine cereal and pecans.
  3. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and baking soda.
  5. Pour the caramel mixture over the cereal mixture, tossing to coat evenly.
  6. Pour the mixture into a 23 x 33 cm (9 x 13 inch) pan.
  7. Bake for one hour, stirring once every 20 minutes.
  8. To cool, pour onto wax or parchment paper. Break into pieces.

Notes

Be sure to use a large saucepan when making the brown sugar/corn syrup mixture, as it will bubble up when you add the baking soda.
You can use unsalted pecans if you prefer, but the salted ones add a nice contrast to the sweetness of the caramel.
