Time 30m

Yield Makes 15 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray
14 cups popped popcorn (from 1 cup kernels)
1 1/4 cup red-skinned peanuts
1 stick plus 2 tablespoons butter
1 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup molasses
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 250 degrees. Spray two rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine popcorn and peanuts. In a medium saucepan combine butter, sugar, molasses, and salt over medium high until butter has melted. Stir once to combine. Bring mixture to a boil without stirring until the temperature reaches 248 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in baking soda.
  • Working quickly, add caramel to popcorn and peanuts and stir to coat. Transfer mixture to 2 baking sheets, spread out evenly, and bake until crisp, 15 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let cool completely. Break into clusters.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or adding some salt to balance out the sweetness.

This recipe was a disaster! The caramel coating was too thick and gooey, and the peanuts were soggy. I had to throw the whole batch away. I would not recommend this recipe.
