Three-in-One Popcorn Crunch Recipe
  • Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
  • Yield: 24 Servings
30 30

Ingredients

  • 4 quarts popped popcorn
  • 2 cups dry roasted peanuts
  • 1-1/3 cups sugar
  • 1-1/3 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup dark corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/2 cups candy corn

Directions

  • Place popcorn and peanuts in large buttered heat-proof containers or bowls; set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugars, corn syrup, water, butter and salt. Cook over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 285° (soft-crack stage), stirring occasionally.
  • Pour over popcorn mixture; stir gently to coat. Stir in candy corn. Drop into bite-size pieces onto waxed paper. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 6 quarts.

Editor's Note: We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.
