In medium saucepan over low heat combine butter and corn syrup until melted; stir in brown sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar is melted and mixture comes to a boil. Boil mixture 5 minutes, stirring often. With lightly greased spatula, stir half of sugar mixture into one bowl of popcorn mixture until evenly coated. Add cinnamon candies to remaining sugar mixture in saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until candies are melted. Stir cinnamon-sugar mixture into remaining popcorn mixture until evenly coated. Spread each portion popcorn mixture in even layer in separate prepared pans. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes with lightly greased spoon to separate popcorn. Cool completely in pans on wire racks. In large bowl combine both popcorn mixtures, "M&M's"® Chocolate Mini Baking Bits, animal crackers and cranberries. Store in tightly covered container.
