For an extra nutty flavor, toast the pecan halves in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes before adding them to the mix. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. The caramel may soften slightly over time. Feel free to substitute other nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, for the pecans. If you don't have crispy rice cereal squares, you can use another type of cereal with a similar texture. Be careful when making the caramel, as it will be very hot.
