How to Make Anytime Party Mix Please Everyone

1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
2. Grease a large (at least 9x13 inch) roasting pan.
3. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups of cereal (such as Chex), 4 cups popped popcorn (lightly salted), and 2 cups peanuts (unsalted).
4. Pour the cereal mixture into the prepared pan.
5. In a medium, heavy-duty saucepan, combine 1 cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, and ¼ cup light corn syrup.
6. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
7. Boil for exactly 5 minutes without stirring, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
8. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon baking soda. The mixture will foam up.
9. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the cereal mixture in the pan.
10. Stir gently but thoroughly to coat all the ingredients evenly.
11. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring gently every 15 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
12. Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan, stirring frequently to break apart the mixture as it cools.
13. Once completely cool, stir in 1 cup of your favorite candy shapes & morsels (M&Ms, chocolate chips, etc.) and ½ cup pretzels (broken into smaller pieces).
14. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
