  • 16 cups of air-popped popcorn

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

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.

  • 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.
