Place the popcorn kernels in a large pot. Add the cooking oil. Cover and cook over medium heat until most kernels have popped and there are several seconds between pops.
Spread the popped popcorn on a large baking sheet. Add the roasted peanuts.
In a small saucepan, mix brown sugar, honey, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
