Goalpost Crunch

1 (9 oz.) Pkg. Mini pretzels (6 cups) 
6 cups Rice or Corn Chex cereal 
1 cup pecan halves 
1 cup brown sugar, packed 
1/2 cup butter or margarine 
1/4 cup light corn syrup 
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. baking soda


In a 4-qt. bowl, combine the first 3 ingredients.  In a 2-qt. bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter and syrup.

Microwave mixture on HIGH until mixture boils (3-3.5 minutes). Stir once to dissolve sugar. Microwave on 30% power for 4 minutes or until mixture is golden brown.   Stir in vanilla and soda. Pour over dry cereal/pretzel mixture and toss to coat evenly.

Microwave HIGH uncovered, 4 1/2 to 5 minutes, or until lightly glossed, stirring twice. Spoon onto large cookie sheets that have been covered with waxed paper. Cool and break into pieces or chunks.

Store in airtight container.
