PRALINE-CHOCOLATE SNACK MIX

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
2 cups Chex (or other cereal squares)
1 cup Cheerios (or other toasted oat cereal)
1 cup Cocoa Puffs (or other chocolate puffed cereal)
1 cup pretzel sticks
2 tablespoons popcorn kernels
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3 tablespoons molasses
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly toast the pecans in a large saucepan over medium heat, about 5 minutes; transfer to a large bowl. Add the cereals and pretzels to the bowl and set aside.
  • Wipe out the saucepan. Add 3 popcorn kernels and the vegetable oil and heat over medium heat until 1 kernel pops; add the remaining kernels, cover and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the popping subsides. Remove from the heat and add to the cereal mixture; toss to combine.
  • Combine the butter, molasses, corn syrup, heavy cream and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is thick and pulls away from the side of the pan, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Once the mixture stops bubbling, stir in the vanilla. Pour over the cereal-popcorn mixture, season with salt and toss with a rubber spatula to coat.
  • Spread the snack mix on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the popcorn is crisp, about 15 minutes (the praline sauce will still be soft). Remove from the oven and use a flat metal spatula to flip the mix in large sections. Let cool completely. (The snack mix will harden as it cools.) Sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar and gently toss to coat. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

PRALINE PARTY MIX



Praline Party Mix image

This is a little "kicked-up" version of the all time favorite Chex Party Mix. Our niece gave us a gift of this one Christmas and I have made it every holiday since.

Provided by Donna Brown @gabbiegirl

Categories     Other Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 cup(s) corn, rice or wheat chex cereal (i use corn and wheat)
2 cup(s) pecan halves
1/4 cup(s) butter
1/2 cup(s) brown sugar
1/3 cup(s) savannah cinnamon company praline mix (this comes in a 25 fl. oz. bottle that can be purchased directly online from the savannah cinnamon & cookie co. or some boutiques and food warehouses sell it)
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line parchment paper on a large cookie sheet. I use my 1/2 sheet cake pan. Pour onto parchment the pecans and cereal. Mix well with your hands. In a small saucepan, mix brown sugar, praline mix, and butter. Gently boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda until foamy. Pour over cereal/pecans and stir to coat well. Bake for 1 hour. (The recipe says to stir once during baking, but I have found to stir 2 or 3 times during baking process is best.) This recipe was taken directly from the praline bottle. This praline mix has many good recipes with it, i.e. Praline Cake, Whipped Topping, Southern Cappuccino, Cafe' Royale, Sweet Potatoes, etc. This bottle of mix lasts a long while. This is my 3rd Christmas on this particular bottle. NOTE: I do have the address, online site and 800 phone # if you would like it.
