I have been making this popcorn for years and even though the original recipe states low-cal, it probably isn't but all I know is that its my second all time favorite way to eat popcorn, (aside from dripping in butter). To really make it scrumptous try adding 1 cup of mixed nuts or any of your choice to the popped corn before adding the syrup! Ingredients:
3 quarts popped popcorn (1/2 cup unpopped) |
1 cup granulated sugar |
1/2 cup honey |
1/2 cup light corn syrup |
1 cup peanut butter (chunky or plain) |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 250°F.
2. Keep popped popcorn in a large roasting pan in the warm oven.
3. Butter sides of a heavy medium-sized saucepan.
4. Mix together the sugar, honey and corn syrup in the saucepan.
5. Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
6. Boil hard for 2 minutes.
7. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla.
8. Immediately pour over popcorn, stirring to coat well.
9. Cool and break into bite sized pieces, or eat while it is just barely warm.
10. Store any leftover - LOL in and air-tught container.
11. Supposedly you will get 36, 1/3rd cup snack size servings that are 75 calories per serving, BUT try and eat only 1/3 cup!
