Halloween Party Mix
Be warned: this mixture is very rich and contains quite a bit
of sugar… serve in small amounts! It makes a great snack to nibble on at your
Halloween party - or package it into small bags and use as a give-away at the
end of the party.
Ingredients:
1 (11 ounce) package of small pretzels
1 (10 ounce) package miniature peanut butter filled crackers
1 cup sugar
˝ cup butter or margarine
˝ cup light corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 (10 ounce) package M&M's
1 (18 ounce) package candy corn
Directions:
In a large bowl combine pretzels and peanut butter crackers and set aside.
In a large saucepan combine sugar, butter and corn syrup.
Bring to the boil over medium heat and simmer for approximately 5 minutes,
stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla and baking
soda.
Pour over the pretzel mixture and stir until coated. Transfer
mixture to a greased baking pan.
Bake at 250F (130C, Gas mark 1/2) for 45 minutes, stirring every 10
minutes. Remove from oven and break apart while warm then allow to cool
completely. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with candy corn and M&M's. Store
in an airtight container. |
