I guarantee you, people will love this football game snack mix recipe! It's one of my favorite munchies to make. I just made it for some ladies who could not get enough of it and of course made me give them the recipe.

3 quarts popped popcorn (2 bags popped popcorn)
4 cups cheerios
4 cups corn chex cereal
2 cups salted peanuts
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1 stick butter
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda

In large roasting pan, combine popcorn, cereal and peanuts. In large saucepan, combine brown sugar, corn syrup and butter; bring to a rolling boil. Boil for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat; quickly stir in vanilla & baking soda until mixture is light and foamy. Immediately pour over popcorn mixture; mix well. Bake uncovered at 250 for 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes. Cool.
