Have the munchies? Theyâre no match for this nutty caramel corn drizzled with melted chocolate. âKim Forni, Claremont, New Hampshire Ingredients:
18 cups air-popped popcorn |
1 can (15 ounces) mixed nuts |
2 cups packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup light corn syrup |
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1-1/2 cups dark chocolate, milk chocolate and/or white baking chips |
3 teaspoons shortening |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 250°. Place popcorn and nuts in a greased roasting pan; set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, combine brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir 5 minutes.
2. Remove from heat; stir in baking soda (mixture will foam). Quickly pour over popcorn and mix well.
3. Transfer to two greased 15x10X1-in. baking pans.
4. Bake 1 hour or until dry, stirring every 15 minutes.
5. In a microwave, melt each chocolate separately, adding 1 teaspoon shortening to each 1/2 cup chips; stir until smooth. Drizzle over popcorn mixture; let stand until set.
6. Break into clusters. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 5 quarts.
