This combines the sweetness of caramel with the saltiness of pretzels, nuts and popcorn! Ingredients:
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 |
Directions:
1. Place the pretzels, popcorn and peanuts into a large paper bag or, if you have one, a very large bowl.
2. Set aside.
3. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter.
4. 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.
5. Remove from the heat, and stir in the salt, vanilla, and baking soda.
6. The mixture will foam up when you add the soda, so use a long spoon to stir.
7. Immediately pour the sugar mixture over the popcorn and pretzels in the bag.
8. Shake until evenly coated.
9. 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.
