I've given this yummy munch mix as a Christmas gift to teachers, co-workers and many others, relates Jacqueline Traffas from her kitchen in Medicine Lodge, Kansas. Made with miniature pretzels, it's a nice change of pace from caramel corn. Ingredients:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
1 tablespoon corn syrup |
1 tablespoon molasses |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon almond extract |
5 cups miniature pretzels |
1 cup salted peanuts |
Directions:
1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, corn syrup and molasses. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 45-50 seconds or until the butter is melted; stir.
2. Microwave 15-25 seconds longer or until mixture boils. Immediately stir in the salt, baking soda and extract (mixture will foam).
3. Stir in pretzels and peanuts. Microwave on high for 20-30 seconds or until pretzels and nuts are well coated, stirring twice.
4. Spread into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan. Cool for 15 minutes, stirring twice. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 6 cups.
