Category: Snacks / Crackers / Chips
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

8 cups popped popcorn
4 cups toasted rice cereal (Chex)
2 cups pretzels
1 cup Pecan halves or pieces
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

In a saucepan combine the brown sugar, butter and light corn syrup and heat over medium heat. While stirring, bring to a light boil then turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes (it will still look bubbly and you should stop stirring)

While the caramel is simmering combine the popcorn, rice cereal, pretzels, and pecans in a very large bowl.

When the caramel is finished simmering remove from heat and quickly stir in baking soda and vanilla.

Pour the caramel over the popcorn mixture, stopping occasionally to stir and coat evenly.

Transfer the popcorn to 2 large bar pans that are lined with parchment paper (very important that it is parchment paper and NOT wax paper). Bake for 30 minutes, halfway through switch racks (bottom to top top to bottom)

After 30 minutes, remove from oven and let the mixture start to cool. While it's cooling start to break the popcorn apart.

When the popcorn is completely cool transfer to a storage container.
