How to Make Hayride Popcorn And Peanuts

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine melted butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will foam slightly.
