Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a large, deep baking tray with non stick paper.
Place the popped corn into a large bowl.
Place the sugar, butter and corn syrup in a medium saucepan and stir over low heat until the butter is melted and the brown sugar is dissolved. Don't allow it to boil until this has happened.
Bring to the boil then boil uncovered for 2 minutes. Don't stir at all.
Remove pan from heat and stir in the bicarbonate of soda. The mixture will foam and lighten a little.
Pour the hot caramel over the popped corn. Sprinkle the peanuts on as well.
Using a spatula stir the caramel into the corn and peanuts until evenly coated. Work quickly before the caramel sets. Be careful - the caramel is hot!
Evenly spread the caramel coated corn and peanuts into the prepared baking tray.
Cook in the oven for 5 minutes or until the corn is crisp.
Cool at room temperature.
Break into pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.
