CHIPOTLE-PECAN CANDIED POPCORN



Chipotle-Pecan Candied Popcorn image

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Time 1h15m

Yield about 13 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

Cooking spray
12 cups plain popped popcorn
1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda Salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Generously coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Toss the popcorn and pecans on the prepared baking sheet. Transfer to the oven while preparing the syrup.
  • Combine the brown sugar, butter and honey in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the butter is completely melted. Increase the heat to high and boil, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the chile powder, baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt. Remove the popcorn mixture from the oven; slowly pour the syrup over the top and gently stir to coat.
  • Return the popcorn to the oven and bake until the caramel is dry and hardened, stirring halfway through, about 1 hour. Let cool on the baking sheet.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to make the candied popcorn. This will give the popcorn plenty of room to pop and coat in the sugar syrup.
  • Do not stir the popcorn while it is popping. This will cause the kernels to stick together and not pop properly.
  • Once the popcorn has popped, remove it from the heat and immediately pour it into a large bowl.
  • While the popcorn is still hot, pour the sugar syrup over it and stir to coat. Be careful not to overmix, as this will cause the popcorn to become sticky.
  • Spread the candied popcorn out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will help to prevent the popcorn from sticking together.
  • Let the candied popcorn cool completely before storing it in an airtight container.

Conclusion:

Candied popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for parties, movie nights, or any other occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and crunchy snack that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give candied popcorn a try. You won't be disappointed!
