Brilliant. How did I not know about this?! Sorry to the Korean chick I stole this from, I couldn't Pin your page for some reason.  http://blog.naver.com/lovesilvey/40165720502

Salty Sweet Clusters

Makes two batches so you can package and give as gifts, but this is so flexible you can go smaller for a quick movie night treat. Experiment with flavors and add-ins, I'd love to hear of your concoctions!! 

INGREDIENTS

• 1 - 16oz bag mini twist pretzels, divided, slightly crushed
• 1 - 16oz jar honey roasted peanuts, divided, slightly crushed
• 1 - 10oz bag mini marshmallows, divided
• 2 - 11oz bags milk chocolate chips, 3 bags for chocoholics
• 2 - 1/3 cup unpopped popcorn, or 2 microwave popcorn bags
• Salt, good corse salt or kosher salt
• pumpkin pie spice, or other aromatic spice like cinnamon 

TOOLS

• large ziplock bags
• scraper spatula
• 6 quart metal mixing bowl
• oven (or stove)
• freezer
• cute containers if giving as gifts; use empty peanut jars, pringles cans, condiment jars or other containers that seem a shame to throw away. Craft stores have cute little bags and boxes. Get creative!

PREP the GOODIES

1. Get the popcorn popping, salt and sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice once finished, divide into two batches.
2. Dump half the bag of pretzels into a large ziplock bag and crush slightly with a mallet, rolling pin, or can. Keep some bigger pieces for texture. 
3. Dump pretzels into big mixing bowl and repeat with 1/2 the jar of peanuts. Again don't crush them all, leave some whole peanuts.
4. Add half the bag of marshmallows to the large mixing bowl and combine all the ingredients. Stir gently using spatula or your hand, try not to crush the popcorn up too much.
5. Sprinkle pumpkin pie spice and add 1 bag of chocolate chips (chocoholics add another 1/2 bag), stir gently using spatula or your hand.

MELT the CHOCOLATE

1.  Place entire mixing bowl into an oven at 350, but don't go far this won't take long to bake!  -- or use double boiler on stovetop to melt the chocolate and stir--
2. Wait 7 minutes, remove the bowl from the oven and stir gently with the oven mit and spatula, scraping down the sides and up through middle to get chocolate on bottom of bowl to the top. You will see some chocolate melting and making everything brown. Repeat at least once more.
3. Depending on how much chocolate you use, it may seem like you don't have enough to cover everything at first. Just keep stirring and repeat the process until the you feel all the chocolate has melted and evenly distributed. Some white popcorn and marshmallow will still be peaking through the chocolate.
4. Add final salt and pumpkin pie spice (to taste) to evenly incorporate sprinkle sparingly and mix gently, again scraping down side and up through middle to toss. I seem to do this three times for my taste, but I could go saltier :)

FREEZE into CLUSTERS

1. Divide mixture into two large ziplock bags, flattening out the mixture and pressing gently to stick it together in a thick sheet. Place in the freezer.
2. Freeze for at least 20 or 30 minutes, longer if you want but don't recommend too long. You don't want it to actually freeze. Just harden the chocolate and marshmallowy goodness.
3. Remove from freezer and open bags slightly so moisture is not trapped. Break up the chunks of mix into small-ish clusters. Place into whatever container you desire to give as gifts or serve at a party... or just devour yourself.
