POPCORN CARAMEL CRUNCH


This recipe is from the back of a box of Corn Chex cereal in 1989. Not exactly a vintage recipe but an old one.

1 1/2 cups Corn Chex cereal
1 1/2 cups Rice Chex cereal
1 1/2 cups Wheat Chex cereal
4 cups air-popped popcorn
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) margarine
6 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp light corn syrup
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. In open roasting pan combine cereals and popcorn; set aside. In medium saucepan, combine margarine, sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla. Cook over medium heat 5 minutes or until boiling, stirring frequently. Pour hot mixture over the cereal and popcorn, stirring until all pieces are evenly coated. Bake 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on waxed paper to cool, stirring occasionally. Store in an airtight container.
