Measure 6 cups popped popcorn and combine in a large bowl with 1 cup chopped peanuts and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.

Caramel:

1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vinegar

Combine in a deep pan. Bring slowly to a boil and continue cooking over low heat until a small amount of syrup forms a hard ball when dropped into cold water. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon butter. Pour syrup over popcorn mixture, stirring well to coat.

Transfer mixture to a greased loaf pan and cut into squares while still warm.
