Ingredients
12 c. popped popcorn
1 1/2 c. Beer Nuts or shelled salted peanuts
1 stick unsalted butter
2 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 1/4 c. packed light-brown sugar
1/3 c. light corn syrup

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Place popcorn and nuts in a large bowl. Melt butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat.

Add caramel to popcorn, and stir to coat. Transfer mixture to a rimmed baking sheet.
