Caramel Corn Snack Mix

Crack... that's what this stuff is. Insanely addicting. Eat at your own risk.



CARAMEL CORN SNACK MIX

  • 8 cups light popped popcorn

  • 6 cups Chex Cereal (I like Corn Chex)

  • 2 cups miniature pretzel twists

  • 2 cups pecan halves


I double this part because it tastes extra-good but that's up to you):

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)

  • ½ cup butter

  • ¼ cup light corn syrup

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda


Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Combine popcorn, cereal, pretzels and pecans in a large bowl (I spray the bowl with Pam first).

  2. Combine brown sugar, butter and corn syrup in saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil over entire surface. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook without stirring 5 minutes. (Mixture should continue to bubble gently over surface.)

  3. Remove saucepan from heat. Quickly stir in vanilla and baking soda, stirring carefully. Pour over popcorn mixture in bowl, stirring until well coated.

  4. Bake 30 minutes on a cookie sheet, stirring after 15 minutes. Transfer popcorn mixture to a large piece of Parchment Paper. Cool completely, breaking mixture into clusters as it cools.
