How To Make Pecan Crunch

  1. To make the pecan crunch, preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine the pecans, oats, sugar, flour, and melted butter.
  2. Spread the mixture onto the parchment line cookie sheet. It will be a bit like granola. Bake at 400 F for 5 or 10 minutes or until browned. The mixture will spread out and look like a giant oatmeal cookie. Let it cool completely and then crumble it into small pieces.
