Time 55m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup unpopped popcorn
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups small pretzel twists
4 cups crispy rice cereal squares
2 cups pecan halves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Place popcorn in a large pot with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Over a low heat, begin to pop the popcorn. Constantly shake the pot to ensure that the popcorn kernels and oil do not burn. Once the popping has slowed, remove the pot from heat.
  • In a large saucepan, mix butter or margarine, brown sugar and corn syrup. Bring this mixture to a boil (over a medium heat) while stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low and do not stir for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and mix in baking powder and vanilla extract, stirring carefully.
  • In a large baking pan, combine popcorn, pretzels, cereal and pecans. Pour the butter mixture over the popcorn mixture, stir to coat.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, stirring the mixture after the first 15 minutes have elapsed.

Time 35m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 cups broken salted pretzels
20 cups popped popcorn
4 cups dry roasted peanuts
3 cups brown sugar
¾ cup light corn syrup
1 ½ 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.
