Ingredients

3 tablespoons peanut oil
4 tablespoons popcorn kernels
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 cup sugar
Water, to cover
1 cup salted peanuts, skins still on

Directions

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil and kernels over high heat, uncovered, until first pop. Cover and remove from heat for 1 minute. Return to high heat and shake until popping ceases. Sprinkle with salt and shake to distribute evenly. Measure 3 1/2 cups of popcorn, and reserve.

Place sugar in a saucepan and add enough water to cover. Cook until caramelized and golden then stir in the reserved popcorn and peanuts. Pour onto greased sheet pan and break up slightly into clumps.

A few more directions would not be amiss
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I really like the taste and the crunch of this recipe, when it works. A couple of hints to make it work: 1. Take the... time to sort through the popcorn to remove unpopped kernels. 2. When caramelizing the sugar, do not stir it once it starts boiling. 3. Let the caramel corn cool slightly on the pan before trying to break it into pieces.Read more
