CHOCOLATE SNACKIN' CORN 
1/2 c. unpopped popcorn
3 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 1/2 c. salted peanuts
1/2 c. light brown sugar
1/2 c. light corn syrup
1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa
1/4 c. butter

Butter a 13x9 inch pan; set aside. Pop popcorn in electric popcorn popper or in microwave as directed. Immediately pour popcorn into prepared pan; add peanuts and stir thoroughly, removing any unpopped corn.

Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, cocoa and butter in medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil, boil and stir 1 minute. Drizzle mixture immediately over popcorn and peanuts; quickly stir to blend well. Cool uncovered several hours. Store tightly covered.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
