Butter Toffee Popcorn with Peanuts

A great "I Can't Quit Eating This!" snack ready in 10 minutes or less! For those who prefer more of a butter toffee taste for their caramel corn. I tweaked the usual microwave caramel corn recipe so it wouldn't have that Cracker Jack -almost-burned taste. For those who prefer that taste, microwave the popcorn/peanut mix for one more minute.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 4-5

Ingredients

• 2  bags  of microwavable light butter flavored  popcorn

• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda

3. Microwave second bag of popcorn, and pour into bag over other popcorn and peanuts.
4. In a microwavable glass bowl, stir together butter, brown sugar and corn syrup.

9. Microwave for one more minute.
10. Pour Toffee Popcorn/Peanuts out on wax paper, foil or on trays.
