Payday Caramel Corn
Report
Peanut butter caramel corn made even sweeter by the addition of candy corn. This easy Halloween treat tastes just like a Pay Day candy bar.

Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups light brown sugar packed
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ bags popped corn remove seeds, about 5 quart popped
- 16 ounce package vanilla bark or Ghirardelli vanilla melting wafers
- 21 ounce bag candy corn
- 1 ¼ cup salted roasted peanuts
Instructions
- Pop popcorn according to package. Place popped corn into a large mixing bowl (make sure to not add any seeds). Set aside.
- In small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter with sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in baking soda and vanilla. Pour over popped corn. Mix well.
- Divide caramel corn mixture evenly into two foil lined broiler pans (or large disposable lasagna pans would work too) Bake in a 250 degree oven for one hour. Stir every 15 minutes, and rotate in oven.
- After one hour, remove from oven and pour into a large mixing bowl. Melt vanilla bark according to package directions and pour over caramel corn. Add in peanuts and candy corn. Pour onto parchment paper (I lay a big strip down on my counter top) and allow to set, about 30 minutes). Once chocolate is set, fill two large gallon sized ziploc bags and seal. ENJOY!
Notes
- Once chocolate is set, fill two large gallon sized ziploc bags and seal. Store for up to one week.
- Storing: This popcorn lasts about 2 weeks if stored sealed tightly at room temperature. In my house, we always eat it up long before!
- Not a fan of candy corn? You can make this without to have a delicious peanut caramel corn recipe.
- Broiler pans lined with foil are perfect for baking the popcorn. Disposable lasagna pans work too!
- Store the caramel corn in individual portions by dividing it between sandwich bags instead of larger gallon sized bags. Easy to grab and go or hand out as a Halloween party favor!
