  12      cups          popcorn -- popped
   1      cup           unsalted peanuts
   1      cup           sugar
     2/3  cup           corn syrup
   2      tablespoons   butter
   6      ounces        semisweet chocolate
   1      teaspoon      vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

Spray a large, shallow roasting pan with vegetable spray.  Mix popcorn and 
peanuts in roasting pan.

In a heavy 2 quart saucepan, cook corn syrup, sugar and margarine over 
medium heat, until the mixture boils, stirring constantly.  Stir in 
chocolate and continue to cook for 5 minutes or until the chocolate is 
completely melted and the mixture has thickened.  Remove from heat and 
stir in vanilla.  Pour over popcorn and peanuts; stir to coat well.

Bake for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.  Pour onto foil and let cool.  
Store in tightly covered containers.
