1 box of Crispix cereal
1 can mixed nuts (I used Macadamia)
1 bag pretzels
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
Bring butter and brown sugar to a boil and continue boiling for 2 minutes. Pour over the other ingredients in a 9x13 pan, stirring well. Bake for 10 minutes at 325 degrees -stir--bake for 10 minutes more. (I usually back an additional 10 minutes).Cool Completely.
Add: Craisins, M&Ms, Butterscotch and/or Chocolate chips, toasted coconut, etc.
(I like to add chocolate chips when it is still hot enough to make them melt into the mix, but don’t stir until it cools completely.) Add Party Pecans. Store in an airtight container.
½ cup sugar
1 egg white, beaten
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups pecan halves
As a sixth ingredient, add one of the following: 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract or poppy seed, or one teaspoon grated orange rind.
· Beat egg white in large bowl until frothy.
· Add remaining ingredients except for nuts. Mix well.
· Fold in pecans and stir until coated.
Bake at 250 degrees for one hour. Enjoy!
