    Posted by: Redraspberrygirl

    List of Ingredients




    5 quarts popped popcorn
    2 cups roasted shelled Virginia-type peanuts
    1 cup butter or margarine (1/2 pound)
    2 cups light brown sugar -- firmly packed
    1/2 cup light corn syrup
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda

    Recipe



    Place popped corn and peanuts in a large shallow 18 × 12 × 2-inch baking pan; keep warm in a 250 degree oven. Meanwhile, combine butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt in a heavy 2-quart saucepan; cook and stir until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and cook to firm ball stage (248 degrees on candy thermometer). Remove from heat and stir in baking soda. Remove popped corn and peanuts from oven; immediately pour a steady stream of syrup over popped corn and peanuts. Mix well. Return to oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool and store in an airtight container.
