INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 11 cups popped popcorn
    • 1 cup Spanish peanuts
    • 1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
    • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
    • 1/4 cup dark corn syrup
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).

2

Spread popcorn in bottom of a large, deep roasting pan; sprinkle peanuts over top.

3

Combine brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt together in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until sugar and butter melt and sauce thickens and caramelizes, 2 to 3 minutes.

4

Pour caramel sauce over popcorn and peanuts; stir until completely coated, scooping any peanuts and caramel that falls to the bottom of the roasting pan.

5

Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until caramel and popcorn crisped, about 45 minutes.

6

Transfer popcorn mixture to a sheet of parchment paper in a single layer to cool completely.
