Time 2h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon kosher (coarse) salt
2/3 cup whipping cream
6 cups popped popcorn
2 cups pretzel sticks, broken into pieces
2 cups candy-coated milk chocolate candies
1 cup salted peanuts
Additional kosher (coarse) salt, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray or line with cooking parchment paper. Press cookie dough on cookie sheet.
  • In large saucepan, heat sugar, water and 1 teaspoon salt to boiling over medium-high heat. Boil without stirring until mixture is amber in color, about 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat; slowly pour in whipping cream (mixture will sputter).
  • In large bowl, toss popcorn, pretzels, candies and peanuts. Drizzle with caramel mixture; stir until well coated. Firmly and evenly press mixture on cookie dough. Sprinkle with additional salt.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until cookie layer is baked. Cool completely. Cut into 4 rows by 3 rows.
