Easy Caramel Popcorn
I like to make this for football parties or for any casual get togethers. it turns out great every time! make it ahead of time and put it in zip-lock bags to keep fresh and crunchy.
Steps
Preheat oven to 350.
Pop the popcorn and distribute it evenly between 2 large baking sheets with rims.
Divide the peanuts in half and sprinkle on top of the popcorn.
In a heavy saucepan melt butter over medium heat.
Stir in brown sugar and molasses.
Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and drizzle over the 2 sheets of popcorn , distributing it as evenly as possible.
Bake in oven for 15 minutes , gently turning the popcorn with a large spatula every 3 minutes.
As it bakes , the caramel will melt and cover the popcorn evenly.
Ingredients
popped popcorn, salted peanuts, butter, brown sugar, molasses
