Need a fun last-minute school snack or bake sale item? asks Ruth Burrus of Zionsville, Indiana. These popular bars are sweet and chewy and can be ready in just minutes. Ingredients:
8 cups popped popcorn |
2 cups honey graham cereal |
1 cup m&m's® brand chocolate candies |
1 cup pretzel sticks, broken |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
1/2 cup corn syrup |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine popcorn, cereal, M&M's and pretzels; set aside.
2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, corn syrup and flour. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 3-4 minutes or until a candy thermometer reads 244°-248° (firm-ball stage), stirring after each minute.
3. Immediately pour over popcorn mixture; toss to coat. Press into a buttered 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Cool completely. Cut into bars. Yield: 2 dozen.
