Trick or Treat Trail Mix
1 bag medium pretzels
1 can(s) dry roasted peanuts
1 box mini peanut butter ritz bits
1 stick real unsalted butter
1 c light karo syrup
1 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1 pkg autumn colors M&Ms
1 pkg candy corn
On greased cookie sheet, spread out pretzels, peanuts and peanut butter ritz.
Melt butter, syrup and sugar on stove top. With candy thermometer, heat until 250 degrees. Quickly add vanilla and baking soda, will foam.
Pour sugar mixture over pretzel, peanut and cracker mixture...place in oven at 250 degrees for 55-60 minutes.
Remove to wax paper and break apart. Will harden quickly, so move as fast as you can to break up clumps. When cooled add to large bowl and add candy corn and M&Ms.
Oh, I love trail mix but sometimes I don't like all of the ingredients so end up picking & choosing what I like in it! But this one---I LOVE all of the ingredients!! What a perfect Halloween "treat"--or Thanksgiving or Christmas....etc. etc.!! I ADORE THE GRAPHICS!!!! The two friends!! And of course, the black cat with the pumpkin---looks like our Gilda!! Who (what are the odds) came to our house as a stray on HALLOWEEN NIGHT! I look forward to your blog every day, Nancy!! A highlight of each day!
