Do you like sweet and salty snacks? Then this recipe is for you!! I originally found a recipe for Carmel Chex mix on the Chex website a couple of years ago. I've been adjusting it and playing with it ever since. Here's how I made today's batch:

Sauce: In saucepan, heat 2 sticks butter, 1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar, 8 Tbsp. light corn syrup, and 1 tsp. vanilla over medium heat, stirring frequently. Heat just to boiling.

 

 

 

Use a large ungreased roasting pan. I put in approximately 10 cups Chex (I used the corn Chex this time, but any kind will work), 1 bag microwave popcorn (light butter), 1 cup peanuts (I mixed plain and honey-roasted. You could use salted if you like more salt), and about 1-2 cups of pretzels.

 

 

 

Pour sauce over popcorn mix, stirring until evenly coated. Bake at 250 degrees for 45 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes to coat.

 

 

 

 

Cool on waxed paper. Enjoy!!

I've made home made carmel corn, it's great! Be careful, it gets really hot, though, right after you pour the carmel over the corn.
