Method

  1. Place the pretzels, popcorn, and peanuts in a large paper bag or a very large bowl.

  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Stir until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.

  3. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the salt, vanilla, and baking soda. Be careful as the mixture will foam up when the soda is added. Stir well with a long spoon.

  5. Immediately pour the sugar mixture over the popcorn and pretzels in the bag.

  6. Shake the bag vigorously to evenly coat the popcorn and pretzels with the sugar mixture.

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