How to Make Trick or Treat Trail Mix

Step-by-Step

On greased cookie sheet, spread out pretzels, peanuts and peanut butter Ritz.
Melt butter, syrup and sugar on stove top. With candy thermometer, heat until 250 degrees. Quickly add vanilla and baking soda, will foam.
Pour sugar mixture over pretzel, peanut, and cracker mixture... place in oven at 250 degrees for 55-60 minutes.
Remove to wax paper and break apart. Will harden quickly, so move as fast as you can to break up clumps. When cooled add to large bowl and add candy corn and M&Ms... enjoy!
