Provided by Melissa Roberts

Categories     Kid-Friendly     Halloween     Pecan     Party     Maple Syrup     Candy Thermometer     Butter     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

About 8 cups plain popcorn
1 cup pecans (3 1/2 ounces), coarsely chopped and toasted
3/4 stick unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
Special Equipment
A candy or deep-fat thermometer

Steps:

  • Toss popcorn and pecans in a large bowl.
  • Line bottom of a 17-by 11-inch 4-sided sheet pan with foil, then lightly oil foil.
  • Melt butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add maple syrup and salt and boil (still over medium heat), without stirring, until thermometer registers 300°F, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Pour syrup over pecans and popcorn, stirring briskly with a lightly oiled spoon or silicone spatula to coat, then immediately spread popcorn in pan in 1 layer. Cool completely, then break into bite-size pieces.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to make the popcorn. This will give the kernels plenty of room to pop and prevent them from burning.
  • Add the butter, sugar, and salt to the pot before adding the popcorn kernels. This will help to coat the kernels and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Stir the popcorn constantly while it is popping. This will help to ensure that all of the kernels pop evenly.
  • Once the popcorn has finished popping, remove it from the heat and pour it into a large bowl.
  • Add the toffee sauce and pecans to the popcorn and stir until evenly coated.
  • Spread the popcorn out on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes. This will help to harden the toffee sauce and make the popcorn crunchy.
  • Let the popcorn cool completely before breaking it into pieces and serving.
