6 cups popped popcorn (I use Vic's that is already popped)
3 cups Rice Chex
2 cups Cheerios toasted oat cereal
1 1/2 cups peanuts
1 cup pecans (or any nut of choice)
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1
In a large bowl, stir together popcorn, cereal, peanuts and pecans. Transfer to a greased roasting pan.
2
In a heavy 2 or 3 quart saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Cook and stir over medium heat to boiling. Boil 5 minutes without stirring (make sure you boil on low heat or it will burn). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and baking soda.
3
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Pour sugar mixture over popcorn mixture. Stir gently to coat. Bake for 1 hour. Pour onto waxed paper and cool. Store in an airtight container.
4
I add M& M's after it cools to make it an extra special treat! You could even add pretzel sticks if you wanted it more salty. Enjoy!
