Instructions :
Prep the Popcorn :
Spread the popped popcorn and peanuts evenly on a large, parchment-lined baking sheet.
Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
Make the Caramel Sauce :
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the honey and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, and let it bubble for 3-4 minutes without stirring.
Remove from heat and carefully stir in the baking soda, vanilla extract, and sea salt. The mixture will foam up—stir quickly but carefully.
Coat the Popcorn :
Immediately pour the caramel sauce over the popcorn and peanuts.
Toss gently to coat evenly.
Bake :
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even coating.
