directions

  • In a large bowl, stir together popcorn, cereal, peanuts and pecans. Transfer to a greased roasting pan.
  • In a heavy 2 or 3 quart saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Cook and stir over medium heat to boiling. Boil 5 minutes without stirring (make sure you boil on low heat or it will burn). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and baking soda.
  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Pour sugar mixture over popcorn mixture. Stir gently to coat. Bake for 1 hour. Pour onto waxed paper and cool. Store in an airtight container.
  • I add M& M’s after it cools to make it an extra special treat! You could even add pretzel sticks if you wanted it more salty. Enjoy!

  1. This is a wonderful snack mix and I could definitely see how it could be addictive! I really like the texture of the cereal with the popcorn and the peanuts--it makes it SO much better than plain old caramel corn. My husband and daughter agree: it's yummy! Made this for Pick a Chef (PAC) Spring 2009.
     
  2. This is a great!! My family begs for it. It is also great for a small gift.

Making them public makes organization easier so they can be filed into proper cookbooks. This also makes sharing them with friends and family easier. Enjoy.
