Rich caramel and marshmallow holds chunks of popcorn and pretzels together forming a sweet and slightly salty bar that is sure to delight both children and adults.

Ingredients

nonstick cooking spray
12 c. plain popped popcorn (from 1/2 cup kernels or 2 microwave packages)
4 c. coarsely chopped small salted pretzels (7.5 ounces)
2 c. sugar
Coarse salt
.67 c. heavy cream
2 c. miniature marshmallows

Instructions

Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bowl, toss together popcorn and pretzels. In a medium saucepan, bring sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup water to a boil over medium-high. Boil, undisturbed, until mixture is amber in color, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove pan from heat and slowly pour in cream (mixture will sputter). Immediately add marshmallows; stir until melted.
Pour caramel mixture over popcorn and pretzels and quickly stir with a rubber spatula to coat. Transfer mixture to dish and use a piece of plastic wrap coated with cooking spray to press evenly into dish. Sprinkle with coarse salt if desired. Let cool completely before cutting into 12 bars.
