How to Make Butter Toffee Popcorn With Peanuts
- Pop one bag of microwave popcorn according to package directions. Pour into a large, sturdy paper bag, reserving about 1 cup of popcorn for later.
- Pour 1 cup of salted peanuts into the paper bag with the popcorn.
- Pop the second bag of microwave popcorn and add it to the paper bag with the peanuts and popcorn.
- In a large microwave-safe glass bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup light corn syrup.
- Microwave on high for 3 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave. Immediately stir in 1 teaspoon of baking soda. The mixture will bubble up!
- Quickly pour the toffee mixture over the popcorn and peanuts in the paper bag.
- Seal the bag tightly and shake vigorously to coat the popcorn and peanuts evenly.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute, then remove and shake again.
- Microwave for another 1 minute, or until the toffee is golden brown and caramelized.
- Immediately pour the toffee popcorn and peanuts onto a wax paper- or foil-lined baking sheet or trays to cool completely.
- Once cooled, break apart into pieces and store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
