Here's a Roberts' favorite...caramel corn! I made it the other night and the girls, Steve and I snuggled up with bowls of it and watched a movie!
5 quart freshly popped corn, unsalted (1 C unpopped popcorn)
1 cup raw peanuts (found in the produce area of the grocery store)
1 cup butter or margarine
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Combine popcorn & peanuts in a lightly greased roasting pan; (I use the big disposable aluminum kind because of room to stir in) mix well & set aside.
Melt butter in a large saucepan. Stir in sugar & corn syrup. Bring to a boil; boil 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Stir in soda, salt & vanilla.
Pour sugar mixture over popcorn mixture, stirring until evenly coated. Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes. Cool & store in an air tight container.
