Adobo and Roasted Peanut Popcorn

A spicy snack mix of popcorn and peanuts with a kicking smoky adobe coating.

Recipe Ingredients:

4 quarts unbuttered and unsalted popcorn (air popped)
1/4 cup peanuts
1 egg white*
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from one 7-ounce can chipotle chiles in adobo sauce; reserve chiles for other use) or 1 tablespoon chipotle pepper sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (or foil sprayed with cooking spray). Spread popcorn and peanuts onto prepared baking sheet.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together egg white, sugar, adobo sauce and salt until foamy. Pour over popcorn and toss to coat evenly.
3. Bake 20 minutes, stirring once midway through baking time. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Makes 4 quarts.
