Here is one of many great recipes from my mother, Ann Randall.  This would be perfect for your Super Bowl party.  Let me know what you think.

PRALINE PECAN CRUNCH

• 2 cups pecan pieces

• ½ cup light corn syrup

• ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar

• ¼ cup margarine(1/2 stick)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

Heat oven to 250 degrees. Combine cereal and pecans in a 13”x9” pan; set aside. Combine corn syrup, brown sugar and margarine in a 2-cup microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high 1 and ½ minutes; stir. Microwave ½ to 1 and ½ minutes more or until boiling. Stir in vanilla and baking soda and pour over cereal mixture; stir to coat evenly. Bake 1 hour stirring every 20 minutes. Spread on baking sheet to cool; break into pieces. When cool, store in zip-lock bag.
