Pecan Praline Crunch

Woohoo!  Spring Break is next week!  The boys and I love spending time together in the kitchen and here is one recipe that they absolutely love to make and dad likes to eat.  :)  For more ideas of what to cook with your kids check out this post.

Of course, next week we will have to make The Best Corned Beef Ever for St. Patrick's Day as well.  Do you make any special food for St. Patrick's Day?  I'd love to know.

Pecan Praline Crunch
