Number Of Ingredients 10

12 cups popped popcorn
1 cube (1/2 cup) butter
2 Tbsp. light corn syrup
dash of salt
1 1/4 c. mini Jet-Puffed Marshmallows
1 3/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. evaporated milk
1 tsp. vanilla
4 oz. (1 pkg.) Baker's German Sweet Chocolate Baking Bar
3/4 c. Planter's Lightly Salted Peanuts, divided

Steps:

Preheat Oven to 300 degrees. Pop popcorn and set aside. Add butter, corn syrup, salt, marshmallows, brown sugar, and evaporated milk to a pan and stir over medium heat until smooth. Allow to come to a boil, while stirring vigorously, then remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Pour over popcorn and lightly toss to incorporate throughout. Remove popcorn to a baking sheet that's been lined with parchment or wax paper. Bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 17-20 minutes, or until the desired crispiness is reached. Bake for about 13-15 minutes if you like a gooey, softer popcorn. Place 3 c. of the baked popcorn in a bowl. Melt Baker's chocolate and pour over the 3 c. of caramel popcorn. Add 1/2 c. peanuts and stir to incorporate, then let the chocolate set. I put mine in the refrigerator just until the chocolate solidified. Add chocolate popcorn back into the caramel popcorn and toss to mix. Serve or give away immediately, because this stuff is best when fresh! Then divvy it out into jars for gifts or just munch to your heart's content!
