4 quarts popped popcorn (Add kernels once the corn oil is hot.  Cook on medium and salt when kernels begin to pop).

The entire box of Rice Chex

Half a bag of square pretzels

12 ounces of M & M’s

8 cups of Quaker Oat Cereal

2 cups brown sugar

1.5 cups corn syrup

Half a cup of butter

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking soda

Grease 3 pans.  In a few large bowls mix popcorn, cereals, M & M’s & pretzels.  In a large saucepan, mix brown sugar, corn syrup and butter. Bring to a boil for 8 minutes and stir about 6 times.  Remove from the stove and immediately stir in the vanilla, cinnamon and baking soda until it begins to foam (about a minute).  Pour over the popcorn mixture and bake uncovered at 280 degrees for 1 hour.  Stir every 15 minutes and rotate pans each time.  Cool completely & break apart for serving.
