BACON-CARAMEL CORN

I got this recipe in an email from Kraft Foods seven years ago. Since I usually avoid using brand names I wanted you to know why I left them in this recipe.

12

cups  popped popcorn

8

slices  cooked OSCAR MAYER Butcher Thick Cut Hickory Smoked Bacon, chopped

1/2

cup  PLANTERS COCKTAIL Peanuts, chopped

1

pkg.  (11 oz.) caramels

3

Tbsp.  milk

HEAT oven to 250ºF.

SPREAD popcorn onto 2 rimmed baking sheets sprayed with cooking spray; sprinkle with bacon and nuts.

MICROWAVE caramels and milk in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 3 min. or until caramels are melted and sauce is well blended, stirring every minute. Drizzle over popcorn.

BAKE 45 min., stirring every 15 min. Remove from oven; stir. Cool completely in pans, stirring occasionally to break up large pieces.
