Ingredients
  

  • 7 quarts plain popped popcorn
  • 2 cups dry roasted peanuts optional
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup margarine
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
 

  • Place the popped popcorn into two shallow greased baking pans.
  • Add the peanuts to the popped corn if using. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, margarine and salt in a saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring enough to blend. Once the mixture begins to boil, boil for 5 minutes while stirring constantly.
  • Remove from the heat, and stir in the baking soda and vanilla. The mixture will be light and foamy.
  • Immediately pour over the popcorn in the pans, and stir to coat. Don't worry too much at this point about getting all of the corn coated.
  • Bake for 1 hour, removing the pans, and giving them each a good stir every 15 minutes.
  • Line the counter top with waxed paper. Dump the corn out onto the waxed paper and separate the pieces.
  • Allow to cool completely, then store in airtight containers or resealable bags.
