Instructions
  1. Have your kids measure the popcorn, pretzels, and peanuts into a large mixing bowl.

  2. Meanwhile, you can make a toffee syrup by melting the margarine or butter in a saucepan over low heat. Use a wooden spoon to stir in the brown sugar. Continue stirring while the mixture bubbles.

  3. Remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup to form a smooth, toffee syrup.

  4. Next, drizzle the toffee syrup onto the popcorn, pretzel, and peanut mixture a little at a time, tossing the dry ingredients to coat them evenly with syrup.

  5. Once the mixture has cooled, quickly separate it into six equal portions. Place the portions in plastic sandwich bags, and roll the mixture to form a ball. Makes six servings.
