Munchable, Crunchable M&Ms Mix

This is an altered recipe from Hershey's. It initially called for the now discontinued Kissables and for Heath Bits O' Brickle toffee bits, which I could only find in chocolate coated.

I initially made this because I wanted something that was easy to send through the mail and easy to share. It's a lucky thing I made two batches because this wouldn't have made it out of the house if I hadn't! Yummy!

Ingredients:

* 8 cups popped popcorn I just bought the plain, unsalted pre-popped stuff)
* 2 cups miniature pretzels
* 3/4 cup peanuts
* 1-1/3 cups (8-oz. pkg.) HEATH BITS 'O BRICKLE Toffee Bits (the chocolate covered work, too)
* 1/2 cup light corn syrup
* 1 cup M&Ms Chocolate Candy (I used the Christmas mix as this was a gift)

Directions:
1. Heat oven to 275°F. Grease large roasting pan (OR two 13x9x2-inch baking pans). Place popcorn, pretzels and peanuts in prepared pan.

2. Combine toffee bits and corn syrup in heavy medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until toffee is melted (about 12 minutes). Pour over popcorn mixture; stir until evenly coated. Note: If using the chocolate toffee bits watch your pan carefully as the chocolate melts faster. You will want to lower the temperature after the chocolate melts but before the toffee has completely melted. Stir constantly.

3. Bake 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from oven; stir every 2 minutes or until slightly cooled. Cool completely. Stir in candies. Store in tightly covered container in cool, dry place. About 12 cups popcorn mix.

NOTE: For best results, do not double this recipe.
