Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed 18 by 13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, set aside.
- Add popped popcorn, rice cereal, pretzels and pecans to an extra large mixing bowl, set aside.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add in brown sugar and corn syrup and bring mixture to a boil stirring constantly.
- Once it reaches a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and allow to boil, without stirring, for 4 - 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat, whisk in vanilla and baking soda (mixture will bubble up and foam). Immediately pour mixture over popcorn and quickly but gently toss to evenly coat.
- Spread mixture evenly into prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes then remove from oven and toss mixture then spread into an even layer.
- Return to oven and bake 15 minutes longer. Remove from oven and let cool then break into bite size pieces.
Notes
- *Don't use flavored, buttered or salted popcorn. Remove any un-popped kernels after popping.
