Tasty little treat. I like the addition of the nuts to this. Great for the evening snack when the munchies hit you.
Ingredients:
2 quarts popped popcorn
1 cup blanched whole almond, toasted
1 cup pecan halves, toasted
1 cup cashews, toasted
1 cup brazil nut, toasted
1 cup hazelnuts, toasted
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions:
1. Place the popcorn and nuts in a slightly greased 5 quart dutch oven.
2. Bake at 250 for 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and butter; bring to boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
4. Cook, without stirring now, until a candy thermometer reads 290 (soft ball stage).
5. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and cinnamon.
6. Pour a small amount at a time over popcorn mixture, stirring constantly until the mixture is well coated.
7. Immediately spread on greased baking sheets.
8. Cool; break into pieces.
9. Store in airtight containers.
