PRALINE PECAN CRUNCH SNACK MIX
In our family, we call this "Crunchy-Crunchy." My mother-in-law makes a big batch of this every Christmas. We receive it in the big box of gifts and my youngest is very excited to see "Grandma's Crunchy-Crunchy" snack mix. I sometimes make it myself, but it's more special to receive it from Grandma, you know? It is great for gift giving in a nice air-tight plastic container. Great to put out for a sweet snack, any time of the year! Note: I have added a little salt to the recipe as a personal preference. If you want to leave it out as the original recipe calls for, you can do so. Enjoy!

COCONUT-PECAN SNACK CAKE
This recipe is the slightly modified version of one I found in a crazy little book called "The Sweet Potato Queens' Big-Ass Cookbook and Financial Planner". No kidding! It's easy and has such a surprising twist in preparation which is the secret to it being so moist. I call it a snack cake because it doesn't need to be iced. Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1.) Heat oven to 250 F. 2.) Combine cereal and pecans in 13x9-inch baking pan; set aside. 3.) In large microwaveable bowl, combine corn syrup, brown sugar and margarine.

Tips:
- Use fresh pecans. Fresh pecans have a sweeter, more buttery flavor than stale pecans. If you can, buy pecans that are still in their shells. This will help to keep them fresh and prevent them from drying out.
- Roast the pecans before using them. Roasting the pecans will bring out their flavor and make them more crispy. You can roast pecans in the oven or in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to watch them closely so that they don't burn.
- Use a variety of spices and seasonings. Pecans are a versatile nut that can be flavored with a variety of different spices and seasonings. Try using cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or chili powder to add a little extra flavor to your pecans.
- Store pecans in an airtight container. Pecans can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. You can also store pecans in the refrigerator for up to six months or in the freezer for up to a year.
Conclusion:
Pecan snacks are a delicious and healthy way to satisfy your cravings. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Pecans can also be a good source of antioxidants, which can help to protect your cells from damage. So next time you're looking for a healthy snack, reach for a handful of pecans. You won't be disappointed!
