0 Comments :: :: Appetizer, Dessert, Holiday
|
|
2 cups brown sugar (packed)
1 cup butter
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
5 quarts popped corn (or 1 cup unpopped)
8 oz can salted peanuts
Pop corn and keep warm in two shallow pans (however, I recommend using one large roasting pan versus cookie sheets) in 250 degree oven. Combine sugar, butter, syrup and salt in sauce pan on stovetop. Bring to a boil slowly and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda. Pour immediately over popped corn and nuts and mix well. Place back in oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Let cool and break up. Store in container. Freezes well.
