Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cups popped popcorn
  • 1 cup mini-pretzel twists
  • 1/2 cup salted cocktail peanuts
  • 1/2 cup bourbon whiskey
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 300°F. Line two 15x10x1-inch pans with foil. Spray foil with cooking spray.
  2. In large bowl, place popcorn, pretzels and peanuts; set aside.
  3. In 2-quart saucepan, heat bourbon over medium heat, stirring frequently, until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 6 minutes. Pour into glass liquid measuring cup to confirm measure. Add back to saucepan. Stir in brown sugar, honey and butter. Cook over medium heat until bubbly around edges, stirring occasionally.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook about 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and syrupy. Remove from heat; carefully stir in salt. Pour over popcorn mixture in bowl; toss until evenly coated. Spread popcorn mixture in pans.
  5. Bake 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, to caramelize mixture. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Break into pieces. Store in airtight container.
