PEANUT BUTTER CARAMEL CORN
Original recipe: Cooking Light. The new way to Cook Light Cookbook
(Baking the candy-coated popcorn on low heat in the oven helps it stay crisp, never sticky or soggy) Note: If you want it to be sticky and chewy . . . Only Bake it for 20 minutes.
- Cooking Spray
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2/3 cup light-colored corn syrup
- 2 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F
- Line a jelly-roll pan with parchment paper; coat paper with Cooking spray
- Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over med-high heat. Add popcorn, cover and cook 4 minutes, shaking pan frequently. When popping slows, remove pan from the heat. Let stand until popping stops. Uncover, add almonds.
- Combine sugar, syrup, butter, and salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Add peanut butter and vanilla, and stir until smooth. Drizzle over popcorn; toss well. Spread mixture into prepared pan. Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool completely.

I am probably to late for the cookbook but wanted to leave a comment anyway to say I love your sight! I love baking and cooking. I have fallen into a slump because we don’t really have the money for me to bake or cook like I ues to. Sad really. I have faith that the Lord will provide and I will be back in the kitchen in no time. Thanks again for a great and fun site. Pictures and directions are easy and fun to follow.
Thanks again,

I’ve been sick for weeks and haven’t felt like much more than chicken soup and camomile tea. After looking at your site, I think my appetite is about to return. Thank you!
Hi Wendy,
Oh…I do hope that you are feeling better soon! Homemade Chicken & Noodles should do the trick.
If not, Peanut Butter Caramel Corn will for sure!!!!
Get well soon,
