Praline Crunch is a sweet, crunchy treat made with crispy cereal coated in a caramelized praline mixture. It’s a perfect snack for parties, holiday gatherings, or anytime you’re craving something sweet and crunchy.

Ingredients

5 cups Rice Chex cereal (or any crispy cereal of your choice)

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup corn syrup (light or dark)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
  2. Cook the praline coating: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and let it boil for 3-4 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.
  3. Coat the cereal: In a large mixing bowl, add the Rice Chex cereal. Pour the hot praline mixture over the cereal, stirring gently to coat evenly.
  4. Bake the Praline Crunch: Pour the coated cereal onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into an even layer. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking and to prevent burning.
  5. Cool and break apart: After 45 minutes, remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Once cooled, break it into bite-sized pieces and store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Notes

Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch and flavor.

Drizzle with melted chocolate for an indulgent twist.

Use a mix of cereals for different textures, like Cheerios or Cornflakes.

Stir in mini marshmallows or dried cranberries for added sweetness.
