Notes
Tip #1Pick out any unpopped pocorn after you dump your bag. You won't be able to see the kernals after the caramel is poured on and you'll break a tooth!Tip #2When you are tossing the warm mixture, make sure to get the popcorn and peanuts at the bottom of your pan and move them to the top when you're stirring. The peanuts tend to sink to the bottom.Tip #3When your popcorn is done, dump it out on some wax paper. If you let it cool in the pan, it will stick and be tough to get off your baking sheet.
