Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what goes into this delightful snack and why each one matters:
- Crispix Cereal: The perfect base—light, crisp, and holds up well to the sticky caramel coating.
- Pecan Halves: Use salted pecans for a sweet-salty contrast that balances beautifully with the sugary glaze.
- Brown Sugar: Adds deep, molasses-rich sweetness to the caramel.
- Corn Syrup: Helps prevent crystallization and keeps the caramel smooth and glossy.
- Butter: Richness and flavor—don’t skimp here, it makes the caramel luscious.
- Vanilla Extract: Adds warmth and depth to the caramel. Pure vanilla makes a difference.
- Baking Soda: Creates air bubbles in the caramel so it stays light and crunchy after baking.
Variations
Looking to switch things up? Here are some tasty ways to make it your own:
- Nut Swap: Try walnuts, almonds, or cashews instead of pecans—or use a mix!
- Spiced Crunch: Add a pinch of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice to the caramel for a cozy twist.
- Chocolate Drizzle: Once cooled, drizzle melted dark or white chocolate over the top for an extra indulgent touch.
- Salty Twist: Sprinkle sea salt over the warm mixture before it cools for a salty-sweet combo.
