Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

It's about time movie night had an upgrade. This oven baked treat made with peanuts and molasses uses microwave popcorn, though, so you won't even have to push back the show time!

1 bag microwave buttered popcorn
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
1 tablespoon molasses
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup honey roasted or toffee peanuts
Preheat oven to 350F. Pop popcorn according to microwave directions.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium low heat. Add corn syrup, molasses, and sugar to melted butter and heat for another 5 minutes until sugar is melted and syrup is bubbling.
Spread popcorn out in a large roasting pan. Pour syrup over popcorn and stir to coat popcorn evenly with caramel. Bake popcorn for 8 minutes.
Remove from oven and stir in peanuts. Return to oven and bake for an additional 7 minutes. Stir again and serve immediately.
