Ingredients
- 14.5 ounce Box Quaker Oat Squares Honey Nut or Brown Sugar flavor
- 2 cups pecan pieces
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- ½ cup brown sugar firmly packed
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250°F. While the oven heats, mix together the cereal and pecan pieces in a 9x13 baking dish and set it aside.
- In a 2-cup microwave-safe bowl, combine the corn syrup, brown sugar, and butter. Microwave the mixture on high for 1 ½ minutes, then give it a good stir. Return it to the microwave and cook on high for another 30 seconds to 1 ½ minutes, or until the mixture is boiling.
- Stir in the vanilla and baking soda into the boiling mixture. Immediately pour this praline mixture over the cereal and pecans, stirring until everything is well coated.
- Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes. Be sure to scrape the bottom and fold the sugar mixture back into the cereal and pecans each time to keep everything evenly coated.
- After 1 hour spread onto a sheet pan and let cool. Break into pieces and store in airtight container.
