   The secret is to use a HUGE pan - ours was sold as a sweet corn cooker.
7. 7
   It almost fills the oven with only the bottom shelf in place.
8. 8
   You want the HUGE pan so you can have enough room to toss the mixture instead of stirring it.

   That way you don't smash the cereal so much.

    And a 48 oz barrel of pretzels.

    Thus, the actual amounts vary, depending on the size of the containers, and that seems to vary from year to year.
