With the holidays coming up, this popcorn would even be great as a gift, packaged into holiday-themed tins or containers.
Here's the recipe to make the popcorn - perfect for a gift or a snack!
Ingredients:
5 quarts cooked popcorn (approx. 2 1/2 bags of popcorn)
2 sticks of butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup karo syrup
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
Instructions:
Bring the butter, brown sugar, and karo syrup to a boil in a saucepan. When it begins boiling, let it do so for five minutes. Do not stir. After five minutes, turn off the heat. Add the vanilla and baking soda. Stir the mixture. On a cookie sheet, spread out the popcorn. Pour this mixture over it and make sure to mix it a little so the popcorn is coated. Also, sprinkle the chopped nuts onto the popcorn. Bake this at 250 degrees for an hour. Every fifteen minutes, give it a little stir to mix it around.
After the hour in the oven, the popcorn is done! Take it out and enjoy!
And here's what else has been going on in the kitchen...holiday cookies!
