DELICIOUS POPCORN CRUNCH
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.

BUTTERCRUNCH POPCORN
I got this recipe from a friend. I first had this at her house and was scribbling the recipe down almost immediately. We don't always have butterscotch chips, milk chocolate chips work well with the recipe too.

Steps:
- To make the butter crunch mixture, melt the butter in a saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 300 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat, stir in almonds, and pour out into prepared pan, spreading the mixture with the back of a spoon to fill the pan. Before the butter crunch hardens, but when it is firm enough to handle, turn it out onto a large parchment-covered cutting board and peel away the foil. Allow the butter crunch to cool completely. To finish the butter crunch, wipe the top surface of the candy with a damp paper towel to remove excess butter and allow to dry a few minutes. Have another cutting board or the back of a jelly-roll pan ready to turn the candy over onto. Use a small offset metal icing spatula to spread half the tempered chocolate quickly over the butter crunch. Scatter half the chopped almonds over the chocolate. Cover this finished surface with a piece of parchment paper or foil and place another cutting board or the back of a large jelly-roll pan. Remove top board and paper and quickly spread with remaining tempered chocolate and scatter on remaining almonds (it isn't necessary to wipe the second side because it wasn't against a buttered surface). Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set chocolate. Break the butter crunch into 2-inch pieces. Store candy in a tin or plastic container with a tight-fitting cover and keep at a cool room temperature for up to a week.

Tips:
- Use fresh popcorn kernels. Older kernels will not pop as well and will result in more unpopped kernels.
- Use a large pot or popcorn popper. This will give the kernels plenty of room to pop.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat. This will help the kernels pop quickly and evenly.
- Add the popcorn kernels to the pot or popcorn popper. Do not overcrowd the pot or popcorn popper, or the kernels will not pop properly.
- Cover the pot or popcorn popper. This will help the kernels pop evenly.
- Shake the pot or popcorn popper occasionally. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning.
- Listen for the popping to slow down. When the popping slows to a few seconds between pops, the popcorn is done.
- Remove the pot or popcorn popper from the heat. Pour the popcorn into a large bowl.
- Season the popcorn to taste. You can use salt, butter, pepper, garlic powder, or any other desired seasonings.
- Serve the popcorn immediately. Popcorn is best when it is fresh and hot.
