Crunchy Caramel Snack Mix

• 6 cups popped popcorn
• 3 cups Crispix
• 2 cups Cheerios
• 1-1/4 cups pecan halves
• 1-1/4 cups dry-roasted peanuts
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, cubed
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1. In a greased roasting pan, combine the popcorn, cereals and nuts. In a large saucepan, bring the brown sugar, butter and corn syrup to a boil. Boil until a candy thermometer reads 250u0b0 (hard-ball stage), about 5 minutes.
2. Remove from the heat; immediately stir in vanilla and baking soda. Drizzle over popcorn mixture; toss to coat. Transfer to a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 250u0b0 for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Store in airtight containers.
