Ingredients

3/4 c granulated sugar
1/4 c brown sugar
1/2 c butter (1 stick)
1/2 c corn syrup, light
1/2 c water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 bags of plain or natural flavored popcorn
1/2 c roasted almonds or peanuts

Steps:

1. Combine sugar, butter, corn syrup, water and salt in a large saucepan over medium heat. You're going to bring the candy to the hard ball stage at 265-275 degrees. If you don't have a thermometer, it's okay. Drip the candy into a small glass of cold water. If the candy forms a very hard yet slightly pliable ball, there you go. Watch this mixture CLOSELY, so that it doesn't boil over.
2. While the candy cooks, pop both bags of popcorn and spread it (plus almonds if you choose) onto one large or two small cookie sheets. Put the popcorn in your oven set on it's lowest temp. (this keeps the popcorn hot so the candy will coat better).
3. When your candy has reached the hard ball stage, add the vanilla.
4. Pull the popcorn from the oven and, working quickly, pour the candy over the popcorn in thin streams. Mix the popcorn so that each kernel is coated with candy. Put the popcorn back into the oven for five more minutes, then stir once again. This will help coat each kernel. Repeat this step once more if necessary to get it all coated.
5. Pour popcorn onto a large sheet of wax paper to cool. Spread it out but be careful, it's HOT. When it's cooled, break it up and immediately put it into a tightly sealed container as it stales easily. Enjoy!!

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 (3 1/3 ounce) bags microwave popcorn, popped & unpopped kernels removed
1/2 cup salted peanuts

Steps:

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Bring to a boil, & boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract.
Mix the popped popcorn & peanuts in a large bowl. Slowly pour the caramel mixture over the popcorn and nuts. Quickly stir the hot mixture into the popcorn until evenly covered. Cool and serve.

Tips:

Use fresh popcorn kernels. Fresh popcorn kernels will pop better and give you a tastier snack.
Heat the oil over medium heat. If the oil is too hot, the popcorn will burn. If the oil is too cold, the popcorn will not pop properly.
Add the popcorn kernels to the hot oil. Stir the kernels gently so that they are evenly coated with oil.
Cover the pot and remove it from the heat. This will allow the popcorn to pop without burning.
Shake the pot back and forth. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning.
Listen for the popping to slow down. Once the popping slows down to about 2-3 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat.
Pour the popcorn into a large bowl. Season the popcorn with salt, pepper, butter, or other desired toppings.
