9 cups popped popcorn
9 cups Crispix cereal
1 cup slivered almonds
1 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

1

In a very large heat-proof bowl, combine the popcorn, cereal and almonds; set aside. In a large heavy-duty saucepan, melt butter; stir in corn syrup and brown sugar. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.

Remove from the heat. Stir in baking soda. (Mixture will foam up and get lighter in color.) Carefully pour over popcorn mixture; stir to coat evenly.
