Popcorn Peanut Brittle Recipe

2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup roasted salted peanuts
4 cups popped popcorn, divided

Line large baking sheet with parchment paper; spray with cooking spray. Set aside

In large heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and 1/2 cup water; cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.

Increase heat to medium-high; bring to boil, without stirring. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, without stirring, for about 10 minutes or until golden brown and candy thermometer reaches hard-crack stage (300 to 310 degrees F.)

Working quickly, carefully remove pan from heat. Stir in butter, vanilla and baking soda until foamy. Stir in peanuts and 2 cups popped popcorn until well coated.

Immediately pour mixture onto prepared pan; using heatproof spatula, spread as thinly as possible. Sprinkle with remaining popcorn, pressing popcorn into candy with spatula. Let cool completely; break into pieces. Store in airtight container.
