Provided by Leslie

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Snacks     Party Mix Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup unpopped popcorn
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups small pretzel twists
4 cups crispy rice cereal squares
2 cups pecan halves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Place popcorn in a large pot with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Over a low heat, begin to pop the popcorn. Constantly shake the pot to ensure that the popcorn kernels and oil do not burn. Once the popping has slowed, remove the pot from heat.
  • In a large saucepan, mix butter or margarine, brown sugar and corn syrup. Bring this mixture to a boil (over a medium heat) while stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low and do not stir for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and mix in baking powder and vanilla extract, stirring carefully.
  • In a large baking pan, combine popcorn, pretzels, cereal and pecans. Pour the butter mixture over the popcorn mixture, stir to coat.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, stirring the mixture after the first 15 minutes have elapsed.

Tips:

  • Use fresh popcorn for the best results. Fresh popcorn will have a better flavor and texture than stale popcorn.
  • Don't overcrowd the popcorn in the pot or pan. If you overcrowd the popcorn, it will not pop evenly and you will end up with some unpopped kernels.
  • Use a large pot or pan with a lid. This will help to prevent the popcorn from popping out of the pot or pan.
  • Shake the pot or pan frequently while the popcorn is popping. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning.
  • Remove the popcorn from the heat as soon as it is finished popping. If you leave the popcorn on the heat for too long, it will start to burn.
  • Let the popcorn cool completely before adding the caramel mixture. If you add the caramel mixture to the popcorn while it is still hot, the caramel will not adhere to the popcorn properly.
  • Store the caramel popcorn trail mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help to keep the popcorn fresh and prevent it from going stale.

Conclusion:

Caramel popcorn trail mix is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover popcorn and it is also a fun and festive treat for parties and gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of caramel popcorn trail mix that everyone will love.
