Captain Crunch Popcorn Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Line baking sheets with aluminum foil.
• Combine popcorn, cranberries, pecans, and chocolate pieces together in a bowl.
• Stir sugar, butter, corn syrup, and vanilla extract together in a heavy saucepan; cook and stir over medium-high heat until boiling, about 5 minutes. Boil mixture for 2 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in vinegar.
• Pour sugar mixture over popcorn mixture; mix until evenly coated. Spread coated popcorn mixture onto prepared baking sheets; cool. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Grease a 13 x 9 inch baking pan with softened butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Add the cereal to a bowl; set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
• Add the marshmallows, vanilla, and salt; cook, stirring constantly, until the marshmallows are melted into the butter.
• Immediately pour the marshmallow mixture over the cereal and stir with a large wooden spoon until all the cereal is coated with melted marshmallows.
• Spoon the cereal mixture into prepared pan.
• With buttered hands, gently but firmly press the cereal into the pan to compact the mixture.
• Let the mixture cool completely.
• When cool, cut into 15 large bars.
• Serve right away, or wrap each bar separately with waxed paper or plastic wrap and store in covered container for up to 2 days.
