This peanutty, caramelly popcorn recipe tastes close to the original. It's very easy to prepare at home and makes great gifts! For a thicker coating of caramel, reduce the popped popcorn to 10 cups.

Time 1h35m

Yield 11

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Spread popcorn in the bottom of a large, deep roasting pan. Sprinkle peanuts over the popcorn.
  • Combine brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt together in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until sugar and butter are melted and sauce is thick and caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Pour caramel sauce over the popcorn and peanuts and stir to coat popcorn and peanuts completely, scooping any peanuts and caramel that fall to the bottom of the roasting pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until caramel and popcorn are crisped, about 45 minutes. Turn popcorn out in a single layer on a sheet of parchment paper to cool completely.
