Chocolate-Covered Caramel Corn

Chocolate-covered caramel corn. Disposable roasting pans work great for mixing. Store in airtight containers or resealable plastic bags.

Step: 1

Place 1 bag popcorn in the microwave; cook on high until popping begins to slow down, about 2 1/2 minutes. Repeat with remaining bags. Open bags carefully; divide popcorn between 2 shallow baking dishes. Mix in peanuts.

Step: 2

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).

Step: 3

Combine brown sugar, margarine, corn syrup, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring enough to blend. Simmer, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat; mix in vanilla extract and baking soda until mixture is light and foamy.

Step: 4

Pour brown sugar mixture over the popcorn-peanut mixture; stir to coat.

Step: 5

Bake in the preheated oven, stirring every 25 minutes, until a cooled piece of popcorn is crunchy, about 1 hour.

Step: 6

Line a flat work surface with waxed paper. Pour popcorn onto the waxed paper. Break up any large clusters.

Step: 7

Melt chocolate almond bark in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes. Pour into a resealable plastic bag; snip off 1 corner. Drizzle melted chocolate over popcorn. Let popcorn cool completely.
