Ingredients
  

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)

1/4 cup light corn syrup

2 cups pecans (chopped)

2 cups rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional for drizzling)

1/2 teaspoon espresso powder (optional for added depth)

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Workspace: Line a baking sheet (approximately 10 x 15 inches) with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.

    Make the Praline Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and light corn syrup over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Allow it to boil without stirring for 2-3 minutes or until it reaches a deep amber color.

      Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully stir in the chopped pecans, vanilla extract, and sea salt. If using espresso powder, add it now for an extra flavor boost. Stir until the pecans are well coated.

        Incorporate the Cereal: In a large mixing bowl, add the rice cereal. Pour the hot praline mixture over the cereal, using a spatula to gently fold and combine until all pieces are evenly coated.

          Shape the Crunch: Quickly spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Press it down with a spatula or your hands (with a piece of parchment on top to prevent sticking) to create an even layer, about 1/2 inch thick.

            Let It Cool: Allow the praline crunch to cool completely at room temperature until firm, about 30-45 minutes.

              Optional Chocolate Drizzle: If desired, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled praline crunch for a beautiful finish. Allow the chocolate to set.

                Break Into Pieces: Once fully cooled, lift the praline crunch off the pan using the edges of the parchment paper. Break it into bite-sized pieces.

                  Enjoy: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
