This recipe has been a real hit with family and friends of Melody Michaelis in Sycamore, Illinois. It's simple, deliciously crunchy and makes up a party-sized portion! Crispix, Apple Jacks and caramel coating give it a unique flavor that's great for all ages.â Ingredients:
7 cups popped popcorn |
4 cups crispix |
4 cups apple jacks cereal |
2 cups salted peanuts |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
1/2 cup light corn syrup |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
Directions:
1. In a large greased roasting pan, combine the popcorn, cereals and peanuts; set aside. In a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter and corn syrup; bring to a rolling boil over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Cook, without stirring, until mixture turns a medium amber color, about 8 minutes. 2. Remove from the heat; quickly stir in vanilla and baking soda until mixture is light and foamy. Immediately pour over cereal mixture; stir until evenly coated. 3. Bake at 250° for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread mixture onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Cool completely. Store in airtight containers. Yield: 5 quarts. |
