Hot Cereal with Fruit and Nuts

I found this recipe and wanted to try it, but I'm not a fan of Cream of Wheat.  So I modified.

For 2 servings:

Candy 1/4 cup roughly chopped pecans.  (Cook in 1/2 TBSP melted butter, after a minute, sprinkle 1-2 TBSPs sugar over nuts, cook until sugar starts to melt.  Remove to a plate.  Put in freezer until cereal is ready.)
Mix up and cook 1 serving of cracked wheat or other chunkier hot cereal. I use this yummy stuff.
Mix up and cook 1 serving of Cream of Wheat following directions on the box.
Stir the two cereals together, divide into two bowls.  Sprinkle 1 TBSP brown sugar on each bowl, 1/2 of the pecans and 2 TBSP dried fruit (the apricots are very good, but we also love Craisins).

This has quickly become our favorite breakfasts.
