Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), allowing it to reach the perfect temperature for baking.
- Prepare a 9 x 13-inch pan by spraying it generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Break the pecan halves in half, adding a rustic crunch to the mix.
- In the prepared pan, combine the Crispix cereal, pretzels, and broken pecans, mixing them together to create a harmonious blend.
- Melt the butter and brown sugar together in a saucepan over low heat until smooth and well combined.
- Drizzle the melted brown sugar mixture evenly over the cereal mixture, ensuring every piece gets a touch of sweetness.
- Toss everything together thoroughly, making sure the cereal and pretzels are well-coated.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, then remove and stir the mixture gently to ensure even cooking.
- Return to the oven for an additional 8 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Once baked, continue to stir the mixture until it is completely cool; this step is crucial to prevent it from hardening into one large clump.
This Sweet Crispix Mix is not only easy to prepare but also makes for a delightful treat that everyone will enjoy. Perfect for snacking at home or sharing with friends, you’ll find it hard to stop at just one handful!
