By mamapig

Ingredients

• 5 qt popped corn
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup white corn syrup
• 2 Tbsp vinegar
• 2 Tbsp water
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup peanuts whole or chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Warm popped corn in slow oven. Meanwhile heat the sugar over low heat, allowing it to brown but not scorch. Add syrup, vinegar and water and salt. Stir only until sugar is dissolved. Boil mixture until it forms a hard ball when dropped into cold water. Remove from heat and add soda and peanuts, stirring well. Pour immediately over warm popped corn. Stir well until all kernels are coated. Allow to cool, stirring occasionally to break up large chunks.
