Fall Snack Mix

This recipe is from Tanya at The Sunday Baker. She is correct, it's super addicting, so consider yourself warned!

Fall Snack Mix

1 box of peanut butter Ritz
1 bag of mini-pretzels, any preferred shape
1 large jar of roasted peanuts (really you can use any nut variety you prefer)
1 bag of m&ms
1 bag of candy corn
1/2 c. light corn syrup
1/2 c. butter
2 T. vanilla extract
1 t. baking soda
1 c. sugar

In a very large, sprayed roasting pan, mix together the pretzels, crackers, and peanuts. In a medium saucepan, mix together the sugar, butter and corn syrup. Over medium heat, bring to a boil, stirring constantly for 5 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and add the baking soda and vanilla. Pour the hot mixture over the pretzel mix and stir to coat everything. Heat in a 250 degree oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 15. Pour contents onto wax paper immediately upon removal from oven. Let it cool for just a few minutes, and then start breaking apart the pieces that are stuck together. Let it cool completely. Add in the m&ms and candy corn. Mix together with your hands. Keep in an airtight container.

Of course you can always put your own add-ins in this mix and change up the candy colors for different seasons.
