This caramel pretzel nut popcorn recipe makes a very good holiday treat that my kids can't get enough of. It combines the sweetness of caramel with the saltiness of pretzels, nuts and popcorn. There is no mess because it is mixed in a large throw-away brown bag!

Original recipe (1X) yields 32 servings

20 cups popped popcorn
8 cups broken salted pretzels
4 cups dry-roasted peanuts
3 cups brown sugar
1 ½ cups unsalted butter
¾ cup light corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

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

Cook's Note:

For a crispier treat, boil the brown sugar mixture longer, or bake the finished mixture in the oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 10 minutes.
