In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
Let it boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract. The mixture will bubble up slightly—this is normal and helps create the light, crispy coating.
Step 4: Coat the Cereal and Nuts
Pour the praline mixture over the cereal and nuts in the bowl.
Gently stir with a spatula to coat everything evenly.
Step 5: Bake
Spread the coated mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even coating and prevent sticking.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and let the praline crunch cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, break into bite-sized pieces and transfer to an airtight container for storage.
