Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the popcorn, Bugles, pretzels, and peanuts. Set this mixture aside.
To prepare the syrup, combine sugar, corn syrup, water, butter, baking soda, cinnamon, and ginger in a saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring often, until it reaches a rapid boil and reaches 235°F.
Remove the syrup from heat, stir in the vanilla, and pour it over the popcorn mixture, stirring gently to coat everything evenly. Transfer this mix onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring every 7-8 minutes.
Take out of the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, break into smaller pieces, return to a bowl, and mix in the M&M's and candy corn.
Serve in a large bowl or individual cups. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for 3-5 days.
