DELICIOUS POPCORN CRUNCH



Delicious Popcorn Crunch image

Popcorn and candy in a candy sauce. Great for the holidays! Not too chewy and won't stick to your teeth (unless you overcook the sauce)! You can customize the candy, dried fruit, and nuts to what you like. Canadian Smarties® can be used instead of M&M's®. I've known people to press the mixture into a cake pan and cut pieces, too.

PRALINE PECAN CRUNCH SNACK MIX



Praline Pecan Crunch Snack Mix image

In our family, we call this "Crunchy-Crunchy." My mother-in-law makes a big batch of this every Christmas. We receive it in the big box of gifts and my youngest is very excited to see "Grandma's Crunchy-Crunchy" snack mix. I sometimes make it myself, but it's more special to receive it from Grandma, you know? It is great for gift giving in a nice air-tight plastic container. Great to put out for a sweet snack, any time of the year! Note: I have added a little salt to the recipe as a personal preference. If you want to leave it out as the original recipe calls for, you can do so. Enjoy!

I seem to be addicted to the idea of praline anything lately. Putting this here for safe keeping (in case I ever think of something that must absolutely be smothered in praline butter!). It comes from the Better Homes and Gardens book "Old-Fashioned Home Baking." Prep and cook times are guesses.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the popcorn is fresh and popped properly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when making the praline; otherwise, the sugar will not caramelize properly and will become grainy.
  • Be careful not to burn the praline; otherwise, it will have a bitter taste.
  • Stir the praline constantly to prevent it from burning.
  • Add the popcorn to the praline as soon as it is ready; otherwise, the praline will harden and become difficult to coat the popcorn.
  • Spread the popcorn out on a baking sheet to cool and set.
  • Store the popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Praline Butter Pecan Crunch Popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for parties, picnics, or everyday snacking. It is also a great gift idea. With its sweet and crunchy flavor, this popcorn is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
