Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 20 cups popped popcorn
• 3 cups brown sugar
• 8 cups broken salted pretzels
• 4 cups dry roasted peanuts
• 1.5 cups butter
• 0.75 cup light corn syrup

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place popcorn, pretzels, and peanuts in a large paper bag or very large bowl; set aside.

Step 2

Combine brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until butter melted, brown sugar dissolved, and mixture comes to a full boil. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 3

Off heat, stir vanilla, salt, and baking soda into brown sugar mixture using a long spoon; the mixture will foam up when you add the soda. Immediately pour brown sugar mixture over popcorn mixture; shake until evenly coated.
