Back in the day, down South, cooks didn't have corn syrup on their shelves, they had sorghum molasses as it was cheaply and locally produced. It's an old fashioned taste I love and candy made w/ molasses is far more flavorful than candy made w/ corn syrup. My Granny cooked her candy till 'hard crack' on the stovetop and poured it over the corn, but doing it that way takes a lot more babysitting and using this method you won't burn or undercook it because it hardens in the oven.

This popcorn is as good as it looks, trust me! 1/2 c. dark karo syrup 1 c. margarine 2 c. brown sugar 4 Tbsp. Molasses 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 tsp. soda 6 qt popped corn 1 c. salted peanuts Mix karo, margarine, brown sugar and molasses in sauce pan. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat add vanilla and soda. Pour over popcorn and nuts. Bake at 300 for 1 hour on cookie sheet stir 3 times while baking. Remove from oven and cool.
