Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

Nonstick cooking spray
12 cups plain popped popcorn (from 1/2 cup kernels or 2 microwave packages)
4 cups coarsely chopped small salted pretzels (7.5 ounces)
2 cups sugar
Coarse salt

  • Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bowl, toss together popcorn and pretzels.
