Popcorn Balls

• 1 C dry roasted peanuts
• 5 C of popped popcorn
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt

Caramel
• 1 C sugar
• 1/4 C of water
• 1/2 C heavy cream
• 2 TBL unsalted softened butter
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 TBL of chunky peanut butter

Mix popcorn, peanuts, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl and set aside.

Put sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil on medium heat. Stir in the cream and butter; continue to boil until mixture turns a dark golden brown. Take off flame and slowly stir in the vanilla and peanut butter.

Pour the carmel over popcorn and mix well. When mixture is cool enough to touch, take a handful of popcorn and mold it into a 2 inch ball (or whatever size you desire.) The balls will become firm as they cool. Wrap in wax paper and store in an air tight container. Makes roughly 10 popcorn balls.
