- 1 cup lightly salted peanuts
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup

Instructions
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Spray a large mixing bowl with nonstick cooking spray, then add the popcorn, chocolate square cereal, toasted oat cereal, waffle-shaped pretzels, mini pretzels and peanuts.
- In a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn syrup, sugar, butter, and salt. Bring to a full boil, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, and stir in the vanilla and baking soda.
- Pour the syrup over the popcorn mixture and stir gently to coat evenly. Spread the mixture into an even layer on the prepared baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with the nonpareils, M&M’s Minis and marshmallows.
- Let the snack mix cool completely, about 30 minutes, then break apart to serve. Store in a sealed container or resealable plastic bag.
