80 ml honey
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar

Place the honey and brown sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and allow the sugar to melt. Stir in the vanilla extract and peanut butter and salt.
Preheat the oven to 180 ºC. Mix the popcorn and peanuts together in a large bowl and pour the melted peanut sauce over the top.
