Time 35m

Yield 32 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 cups broken salted pretzels
20 cups popped popcorn
4 cups dry roasted peanuts
3 cups brown sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place the pretzels, popcorn and peanuts into a large paper bag or, if you have one, a very large bowl.
  • Set aside.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter.
  • Cook, stirring to melt the butter and dissolve the sugar, until the mixture comes to a boil. Once the mixture is at a full boil, continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from the heat, and stir in the salt, vanilla, and baking soda.
  • The mixture will foam up when you add the soda, so use a long spoon to stir.
  • Immediately pour the sugar mixture over the popcorn and pretzels in the bag.
  • Shake until evenly coated.
  • For a crispier treat, boil the sugar mixture longer, or bake the finished mix in the oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 10 minutes.
