Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

  • 1 (12 ounce) package crispy corn and rice cereal (such as Crispix)

  • 3 cups pecan halves

  • 3 cups whole almonds

  • 2 cups brown sugar

  • 1 cup corn syrup

  • ½ cup unsalted butter

  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Lightly butter a large roasting pan.

  2. Combine corn-rice cereal, pecans, and almonds in the prepared roasting pan.

  3. Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Heat to 240 degrees F (115 degrees C) or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. Remove syrup from heat; stir in vanilla extract.

  4. Drizzle syrup over cereal mixture; toss to coat.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes; stir and continue baking for 30 minutes more. Spread cereal mixture in a single layer onto 2 lightly buttered baking sheets, separating any large chunks with 2 forks; cool.
