“This popcorn mix is a crunchy treat. It's a snacker's dream come true!”

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
• 1 cup honey
• 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the honey, brown sugar and salt. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add baking soda and mix well.


Preheat oven to 250ºF. Spray two 15 x 101⁄2-inch baking pans lightly with nonstick cooking spray.


Combine popcorn, cereal, cashews and peanuts in a large bowl and toss until mixed.


Add honey mixture to popcorn mixture and toss to mix.


Spoon equal portions of popcorn mixture into prepared baking pans. Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 35 to 45 minutes. Store in airtight containers for up to 2 weeks.
