Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 11 servings

11 cups popped popcorn

1 cup Spanish peanuts

1 ¼ cups dark brown sugar

10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

¼ cup dark corn syrup

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

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

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

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

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

Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until caramel and popcorn crisped, about 45 minutes. Transfer popcorn mixture to a sheet of parchment paper in a single layer to cool completely.
