Praline Crunch (Great for gift giving!)


OH.MY.YES.PLEASE!

This crunchy, caramel-y, sweet & salty treat is fabulous!  
And ADDICTIVE too! 

Would be a welcome change from all the usual baked goods that happen during the holidays. 


Perfect for snacking while watching tv...
And perfect to bag up and give as gifts!

BE AWARE: This 'sauce' is NOT a heavy coating...all of the cereal doesn't get coated...it's lightly sweetened so you get some 'bare' cereal along with coated...I think that makes it perfect! Not too sweet!

The ingredients are things you most likely have on hand. 

I know pecans are pricey - they can be omitted if you prefer - but they

sure add a lovely crunch!

Don't miss keeping this recipe handy so you are ready to 'go' when
the holiday season hits!

Did I mention it's addictive!! 😂
