Ingredients

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

Instructions

In a large paper bag or bowl, combine popcorn, pretzels, and peanuts. Set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, mix brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Cook and stir until butter is melted, brown sugar is dissolved, and the mixture reaches a rolling boil. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, salt, and baking soda. The mixture will foam up upon adding the soda. Immediately pour the caramel mixture over the popcorn mixture, shaking to coat evenly.
