Ingredients

8 cups popped microwave popcorn (natural flavor)
1/4 cup Spanish peanuts or 1/4 cup regular unsalted peanuts
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup

Steps:

Spread popcorn and peanuts on a baking sheet and keep warm in your oven set to 300 degrees while you prepare the butter toffee.
You don't need to preheat the oven.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium/low heat.
Add sugar and corn syrup and simmer, stirring occasionally.
Pop a candy thermometer into the mixture and watch it closely.
When the thermometer reaches 300 degrees pour the candy over the warm popcorn and peanuts.
Stir well so that the candy coats the popcorn.
Put the popcorn back into the oven for 5 minutes, then stir it again to coat the popcorn.
Repeat if necessary to thoroughly coat all of the popcorn.
Pour coated popcorn and peanuts onto wax paper.
When cool, break up the chunks into bite-size pieces and store it all in a covered container.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 microwave bag kettle corn
1 cup pretzel sticks (broken up)
1/2 cup lightly salted peanuts
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
dash salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Grease baking sheet and set aside.
Pop popcorn and pour into large bowl, being sure to sort out any unpopped kernels. Add in pretzels and peanuts.
In large measuring cup, stir together butter, sugars, corn syrup and salt. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until everything has melted together and bubbled. Make sure you stop and stir every 30 seconds or so! (You'll have to watch it carefully so it doesn't bubble over the top!) Once all the sugar crystals have melted and everything is uniform in color, stir in vanilla extract and baking soda well-at this point the baking soda will make the sugar mixture double in volume and almost become similar to a melted marshmallow
At this point, pour sugar mixture over popcorn, peanuts and preztels and stir well. Pour coated mixture onto prepared baking sheet and spread out evenly.
Bake 10 minutes and remove from oven. Stir with spatula to break larger pieces apart and let cool completely. Scrape crunch n' munch off baking sheet and break any large pieces into smaller ones. Store in air tight containers.
