Snickers Popcorn

Sorry it's been a while since I have posted...I have been on a diet for the last 3 weeks, not happy about it at the moment but, I see no reason for both of us to go without goodies. So just for you!!!

8 quarts air popped popcorn (about 2 cups of kernels)
1 cup salted butter
2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup light corn syrup (karo)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup salted peanuts
30 (fun size) Snickers bars coarsely chopped
3 oz. melted semi-sweet chocolate

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees
Over medium heat boil butter, brown sugar, salt and corn syrup for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in baking soda.
Pour over popcorn and stir to evenly coat.
Transfer to waxed paper lined counter and sprinkle peanuts on top. Stir until all is coated evenly.
Transfer popcorn into a  large roasting pan an bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
Remove from pan and stir in the coarsely chopped Snickers. Return to the oven and cook for 3 more minutes, so that the snickers start to slightly melt into the popcorn.
Remove from pan and transfer popcorn back onto the wax paper to cool.
Drizzle melted chocolate on top of the popcorn.
Let set and store in an airtight container.
