Caramel Crunch Popcorn

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Lightly grease two cookie sheets or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place popped corn in VERY large bowl; discard any unpopped kernels. Add peanuts; toss to combine. Set aside.

2. 2

   In 3-quart saucepan, heat butter, sugars, and corn syrup on medium until butter melts and sugars dissolve, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently with metal spoon or heat-safe spatula. Increase heat to medium-high and heat to boiling, about 3 minutes; boil 3 minutes longer. Remove saucepan from heat; stir in baking soda (mixture will bubble vigorously), and pour over popcorn mixture in bowl. Stir immediately; continue stirring until all popcorn is evenly coated.

3. 3

   Divide popcorn mixture between prepared cookie sheets; spread evenly. Place pans on 2 oven racks. Bake popcorn mixture 45 minutes, rotating pans between upper and lower racks halfway through baking and stirring occasionally.

4. 4

   Cool popcorn mixture completely in pans on wire racks, about 1 hour. Break apart any large clusters of popcorn when cool. Store in tightly sealed containers at room temperature up to 2 weeks.
