Glamorous Ingredients:

• 16 cups of air-popped popcorn

• 1/2 cup (120 g) of salted roasted peanuts

• 1 cup (200 g) of light brown sugar

• 1 stick (120 g) of unsalted butter

• 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of agave nectar

• 1 1/2 tablespoons (22.5 ml) of tequila

Chic Steps to Deliciousness:

• Warm your oven to a cozy 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Position those racks in the upper and middle thirds. In a large, sophisticated bowl, mix the popcorn with the peanuts.

• In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, agave nectar, corn syrup, and salt. Stir this ensemble over heat until well combined. Let it boil for 4 minutes. Now, stir in the baking soda and tequila - it'll foam excitingly!

• Pour this fabulous syrup over your popcorn-peanut mix. Toss it gently. Spread this mixture on two nonstick baking sheets and bake for about an hour, stirring occasionally. It should get a golden glow and an almost-dry touch. Let it cool in the open oven.
