1. Prepare Your Baking Dish:
Start by lining a baking sheet or dish with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking. Set it aside while you prepare the praline crunch mixture.

2. Toast the Pecans:
In a medium skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the chopped pecans. Stir occasionally for about 3-5 minutes, just until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Remove them from the heat and set aside.

Make the Praline Mixture:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, stir in the brown sugar, heavy cream, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Allow it to boil for 3-4 minutes, or until the caramel sauce thickens and becomes smooth.

4. Combine the Cereal and Pecans:
Once the praline mixture is ready, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Immediately add the toasted pecans and rice cereal, stirring gently until the cereal is evenly coated with the praline mixture.

5. Chill and Set:
Pour the praline crunch mixture onto your prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes to an hour, allowing the praline coating to set and harden.

6. Serve:
Once cooled, break the praline crunch into bite-sized pieces and enjoy! It’s the perfect combination of sweetness and crunch in every bite.
