4 cups corn chips
4 cups small square corn cereal
1 cup small pretzel sticks or twists
1 cup peanuts (or any nut you like)
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
3 Tbsp light corn syrup
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 bag (14 oz) M&Ms or Reeses Pieces
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Get out an extra large baking sheet with sides and spray with non-stick cooking oil.
In a large heat proof bowl or pot, put the corn chips, corn cereal, pretzels, and nuts; toss to combine and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt; bring to a boil, stirring often, then immediately remove from heat.
Stir in the vanilla and baking soda (it will foam up) - don't over stir. Pour this mixture over the cereal/nuts in the bowl and toss quickly to coat well.
Immediately dump out onto the baking sheet, spreading evenly.
Put in preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, stirring 3 to 4 times during the baking process.
Remove from oven, stir once more, and set aside to cool to the touch, then add the chocolate candies and stir to combine. Spread evenly and let cool completely.
When cool, break mix up and serve immediately for your party snack or store in airtight containers until ready to serve. Will keep for 1 to 2 weeks.
