Peanut Butter Popcorn


This is a family recipe. Everyone loves this stuff. My mom likes to make it with plenty of peanuts. She would always make an extra batch just for my dad that he would stash in his room.

4 quarts popped corn (1/2 c. unpopped kernels)
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. light corn syrup
1/2 c. honey
1 c. peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. peanuts (I like to use lightly salted, dry roasted)

Combine sugar, corn syrup, and honey in a small saucepan. Boil for 2 minutes on medium high. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Pour over popcorn and peanuts. Stir with a long handled spoon until well coated. Spread out on a cookie sheet to cool. Store in an airtight container.
