Time 55m

Yield 1 1/2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 6

Vegetable oil for coating pan
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup water
1 1/2 cups pecans
4 cups cooked, unsalted popcorn

Steps:

  • Preheat conventional oven to 350 degrees. Oil a large baking sheet and a large spoon. Set aside.
  • Stir sugar, corn syrup and water together in a 2 1/2-quart souffle dish. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power in a high-power microwave oven for 4 minutes. Stir.
  • Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap. Cook for 31 minutes.
  • While syrup is cooking, place pecans on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, stirring once. Set aside.
  • Remove syrup dish from oven. Prick plastic to release steam. Uncover and let stand for 2 minutes. Use the spoon to carefully stir in popcorn and nuts. Let stand for 5 minutes, turning the popcorn over in the mixture from time to time to make sure that the popcorn and the nuts are well coated.
  • Spoon the mixture out onto the baking sheet. Use the back of the spoon to spread the popcorn mixture into an even layer. Let harden and cool, about 15 minutes.
  • When cool, break into chunks with a wooden mallet or rolling pin. Store in an airtight container.
