    List of Ingredients




    8 cups plain popped popcorn (unpopped kernels discarded)
    1 cup peanuts
    1 large clean brown paper grocery bag
    1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cut into chunks
    3/4 cup packed brown sugar
    1/4 cup light corn syrup
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon baking soda

    Recipe



    1. Place the popped popcorn and peanuts in the grocery bag.

    2. In a microwave-safe large bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Microwave for 2 minutes; stir then microwave for 2 more minutes.

    3. Add the baking soda, stirring until thickened. Mixture will turn light in color and look like taffy. Pour mixture over the popcorn and peanuts in the bag; close bag and shake well.

    4. Pour the popcorn mixture into the bowl and microwave for 1-1/2 minutes; stir then microwave for 1-1/2 more minutes. Pour into the paper bag and shake well.

    5. Repeat Step 4 then spread the popcorn mixture onto baking sheets and allow to cool completely. Serve, or store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
