Ingredients
2C Popcorn
20oz Caramel Blocks
2T Water
1/2C Peanuts
Directions
1. Cook up some popcorn by taking a brown paper bag from the grocery store and fill it with the popcorn kernels. We use a brown bag because it is strong and we can throw it away when we are done.
2. Take the bag and microwave for 3:30 minutes or until the popping sound slows down. It is important not to burn the popcorn so listen with your ears and smell with your nose.
3. Unwrap the caramel blocks, you are going to need about 2 cups.
4. When the popcorn is done transfer the popcorn into another brown paper bag. We do this to separate the popped kernels from the un- popped ones.
5. Microwave the caramels with a tablespoon of water for 30 seconds and stir the mixture. Do this 2 more times or until the caramels are completely melted and smooth.
6. Open your popcorn bag and throw in a cup of peanuts. Pour the melted caramel and drizzle it over the popcorn and peanuts. Close the top of the bag and shake it up until all of the popcorn is coated.
