Ingredients
- 6 cups Popcorn plain, popped
- 2 cups pretzel sticks broken
- 4 cups rice chex cereal
- 1/2 cup M&M's
For the Caramel:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 1/3 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Line your counter with sheets of wax paper and lightly mist with non-stick cooking spray.
- In large bowl, mix popcorn, pretzels and Chex. Set aside.
- In medium to large saucepan, bring butter, brown sugar and corn syrup to a bubble over medium high heat. Keep sugar mixture bubbling {not violently, but not weak...some where in the middle} for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda. Immediately pour over popcorn mixture and stir to coat evenly. Pour out onto greased wax paper and spread out. Sprinkle M&M's onto warm caramel munch mix so they stick. Let cool completely {10-15 minutes should do it}. Break into smaller pieces and store in air tight containers.
