Peanut Butter Popcorn

A anthropomorphic peanut shell sporting a monocle. Just creepy.

I've been obsessed with monocles ever since I saw Mr. Peanut amble across my television set with his surly cane and raised eyebrow. But now that I think about it...Planters just got it all wrong. I mean, how unrealistic is that guy! No one dresses like that these days! Not to mention, peanuts are BROWN! DUH!

2 cups unpopped popcorn
1 1/2 cups dry-roasted peanuts (it's really not the same without the peanuts)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla

Pop corn and remove unpopped kernels. Stir in peanuts. In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, honey, and corn syrup. Bring mixture to a boil, and continue boiling for 1 minute. DO NOT boil too long, or your popcorn will be hard. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter and vanilla. Pour over popcorn immediately and stir to coat.
