1

Prepare the popcorn

Start by popping your popcorn using your preferred method. You can either use microwave popcorn or pop your own kernels on the stovetop. Aim for about 8 cups of popped popcorn.

2

Prepare the Golden Grahams mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of Golden Grahams cereal, 1 cup of salted peanuts, and 1 cup of mini pretzels. Give it a good stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.

3

Make the caramel sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup of butter. Once melted, add 1 cup of packed brown sugar and stir until fully combined. Let it come to a gentle boil and cook for about 2 minutes. Be sure to stir constantly to prevent burning!

Combine the popcorn and caramel

Pour the caramel sauce over the popcorn, aiming for even coverage. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to gently toss and coat the popcorn with the caramel goodness. This is the sticky part, so embrace the messiness!

5

Bake and cool

Spread the caramel-coated popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 250°F (120°C) for about 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even baking. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool completely before digging in.
