Crack (sweet Chex mix)

 

You won't be able to stop snacking on this. Great for campouts! (See also the Halloween mix.) Got this from my dear friend Angel!

1 box Chex rice cereal
1 bag popcorn (not sure on size of this- like microwave bag I think)
1 c. slivered almonds
1 c. whole pecans
2 c. pretzels (or more to taste)

Place all of these in a HUGE bowl. 

Then boil for 5 minutes on Med-High:

1 lb. butter (4 sticks)
2 c. brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 c. light corn syrup

Pour over cereal mixture stirring to coat all. 

Place on a large cookie sheet. 

Bake at 225 degrees for 1 hour. Remove from oven and stir every 15 minutes until cool.
