I had a bag of Snickers that I need to get out of my house (so I stopped eating them!!) so I made this super simple recipe to take to book club with me this week. It was so simple to make and my kids were big fans of this! I purposely brought it in a foil pan so I could leave it behind. This is good stuff! :) Personally it probably would be better with the peanuts, but I didn't have any on hand and didn't want to run to the store so I just omitted. The peanuts would be a personal preference addition though.
8 quarts air popped corn (about 2 cups of
kernels)
1 cup salted butter
2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup salted peanuts (I
omitted)
30 "Fun Size" Snickers bars
coarsely chopped
3 oz melted semi sweet chocolate (optional) (I added some mini chocolate chips to add a little more
chocolate)
Preheat oven to 200.
Over medium heat boil butter, brown sugar,
salt and corn syrup for 5 minutes. Remove
from heat and stir in your baking soda. Pour
over your popcorn and stir to coat evenly.
Transfer to waxed paper lined counter and
sprinkle peanuts on top. Stir until all is coated evenly.
Transfer popcorn into a large roasting pan
and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and stir in your coarsely
chopped Snickers. Return to oven for 3 more minutes so the Snickers begin to
melt slightly into the popcorn.
Remove from pan and transfer popcorn back to
wax paper to cool. Drizzle melted
chocolate on top of popcorn if desired.
Let set and store in an airtight container.
