Boil: Melt the butter and brown sugar together in a sauce pan and bring it to a boil for two minutes while stirring frequently.
Prepare: Line 2 large baking sheets with foil and spray with non-stick spray. Divide the cereal and pecans between each pan evenly.
Helpful Tip!
Don’t overload the sheet pans, that’s why you’re using two of them! You want a fairly even layer on each so that you’re able to evenly distribute the caramel.
Mix: Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the cereal and pecans on each baking sheet. Give it a quick stir.
Bake: Bake for 15 minutes, stirring around the 10 minute mark. Let cool completely before serving.
