PRALINE PECAN CRUNCH

"Here's a good snack.. Fixed this one for the graduation lunch, also, and it was gone before the meal began!!!!"

1 (16 oz.) box Quaker Oatmeal Squares (cold cereal)
2 cups pecan pieces (halves work best)
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup margarine
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. baking soda

Heat oven to 250 degrees F.

Combine cereal and pecan pieces in a 13x9-inch pan and set aside (a disposable aluminum one works best).

Combine corn syrup, sugar, and margarine in a microwaveable dish and microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir. Heat again for 1 1/2 minutes or until boiling. Stir in vanilla and baking soda, pour all over cereal and mix well.

Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes. Break pieces apart.
