Moderation...right?

Ok, so I made this recipe a couple of years ago for father's day for my dad.  Haven't made it since...til last week, when I remembered about an hour beforehand that I was in charge of treats for the kid's ball game!  So I made a bunch of little bags of it, and lots of people were asking for the recipe...I feel bad giving it out...and you'll see why.  It has EVERYTHING bad in it...plus, the kicker...you use your  microwave a lot!  My kids call the microwave the egg holder, it's where we keep our eggs...we don't microwave, but it's a must for this...ok it's really not, but it helps with the crunchiness....

• 6 cups popped popcorn 
• 3/4 cup salted peanuts 
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 
• 1/4 cup butter (no substitutes)
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup (HORRIBLE, I know, I'm sorry, just do it)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 
  

Directions

1. Place popcorn and peanuts in a large microwave-safe bowl; set aside. In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, corn syrup and salt. Cover and microwave on high for 1 minute; stir. Microwave 2 minutes longer.
2. Stir in vanilla and baking soda. Pour over popcorn mixture. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 3 minutes, stirring several times. Spread on greased baking sheets to cool. Store in an airtight container.

I'm sorry everyone..just make it, eat it and be happy!
