Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Caramel Popcorn with Peanuts.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a gentle 250°F (120°C).
Step 2
In a spacious, deep roasting pan, create a cozy bed for your popped popcorn, spreading it out evenly, then generously sprinkle Spanish peanuts on top for that delightful crunch.
Step 3
In a saucepan set over medium-high heat, combine dark brown sugar, unsalted butter, dark corn syrup, and kosher salt.
Step 4
Stir continuously as the mixture transforms into a smooth, caramelized delight, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 5
Once your caramel sauce is ready, pour it over the popcorn and peanuts, ensuring every morsel is lovingly coated.
Step 6
Don’t forget to scoop up any peanuts and caramel that may have settled at the bottom of the pan.
Step 7
Slide the roasting pan into your preheated oven and let it bake for approximately 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to achieve that perfect crispiness.
Step 8
When the time is up, carefully transfer the popcorn mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper, spreading it out in a single layer to cool completely before indulging in this sweet and salty treat.
Step 9
Enjoy the delightful crunch and rich flavors that make this popcorn a true crowd-pleaser!.
