Honey Popcorn Crisp

1 c. popcorn

1 c. white sugar

1 c. brown sugar

½ c. water

¾ c. Cox Honeyland's Honey

¼ c. dark Karo syrup

4 Tbsp. butter

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. Salt

1 c. raw or roasted peanuts (optional)

 

Pop the corn and place in an oven safe container. Place the container in a warm oven so the corn and pan will be warm when syrup is added. Mix sugar, honey, Karo, and water thoroughly and cook to a soft ball stage and add salt. Optional: Add peanuts at the soft crack stage. Cook to a hard crack stage and add butter before taking from the heat. Add baking soda and vanilla. Pour syrup over corn, mixing well. Pour on a flat surface to harden.
