Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield about 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick cooking spray
3 tablespoons coconut or vegetable oil
Slightly rounded 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup roasted, salted mixed nuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray.
  • Put the oil and 3 or 4 popcorn kernels in a large pot with a lid (at least 6 quarts). Cover the pot and turn the heat up to medium-high. Wait until you hear one of the kernels pop, then uncover the pot and add the remaining kernels. Quickly stir everything together then replace the lid. Cook the popcorn until the kernels begin popping and then reduce the heat slightly. Cook, shaking often, until the rate of popping starts to slow, 2 to 3 minutes. Do not wait for all of the kernels to pop or they will burn. Take off the heat.
  • Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt in a medium pot. Heat over medium heat until melted and smooth. Stir in the baking soda.
  • Pour the nuts on top of the popcorn. Then pour the caramel into the pot with the popcorn; stir to coat and spread the popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden, about 20 minutes. Cool completely, and then break apart before serving.

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL-NUT POPCORN



Chocolate Caramel-Nut Popcorn image

I found this recipe on another recipe website last year, but I can't remember which one. I gave these out for Christmas and everyone loved them. I used to buy popcorn from my Son when he was in school and they would be selling different flavors of popcorn to raise money for their school. They would sell Caramel Popcorn, Chocolate Popcorn similar to this recipe, Caramel Popcorn with nuts, the possibilities are endless. The popcorn came in a plastic bag in decorative tins with tight lids. Definately a great gift idea or part of a fund raiser for any occassion.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 50m

Yield 24 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

24 cups popped popcorn
3 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
2/3 cup water
6 tablespoons stick butter or 6 tablespoons margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
1 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • Spread popcorn in 2 large, deep roasting pans.
  • Bring sugar, corn syrups and water to boil in 4-quart saucepan. Add butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until a candy thermometer registers 300 degrees F to 310 degrees F. When mixture forms hard, brittle threads, it's ready. Remove from heat. Carefully stir in salt, baking soda and vanilla extract. Because the candy is very hot, the vanilla extract will spatter and the mixture will foam. Pour over popcorn and stir to coat.
  • Let cool. Store airtight.
  • Up to 2 days before giving, break up large chunks, spread coated popcorn on two cookie sheets.
  • Melt chocolate chips according to package directions. Drizzle over popcorn and, before chocolate hardens, sprinkle with almonds. Let stand at room temperature until chocolate hardens.
  • Store airtight.

EASY CHOCOLATE-CARAMEL POPCORN



Easy Chocolate-Caramel Popcorn image

I found this recipe on the back of a bag of Kraft Caramels. It's the perfect party snack-everyone gobbles it up! I've discovered that 12 cups of popcorn is one microwave bag, and I've also tried it with cashews instead of peanuts. Yum!

Provided by DreamoBway

Categories     Candy

Time 1h15m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (14 ounce) bag Kraft caramels
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
2 tablespoons water
12 cups air- popped popcorn
1 cup cocktail peanuts
4 (1 ounce) baker's semi-sweet chocolate baking squares, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • Place the caramels, butter, and water in a heavy saucepan. Cook on low heat until the caramels are completely melted, stirring frequently.
  • Combine the popcorn and peanuts in a large bowl. Make sure to remove all unpopped kernels. Drizzle with the caramel mixture; toss to evenly coat. Spread onto a large greased baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, stirring after 10. Sprinkle with chocolate; toss using two spoons until well mixed. Spread onto a sheet of waxed paper; cool completely.
  • Break apart until small clusters or individual pieces. Store in a tightly covered container at room temperature for up to one week.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the popcorn cones will be. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate.
  • Make sure the popcorn is fresh. Stale popcorn will not make good cones.
  • Don't overcrowd the popcorn cones. If you put too much popcorn in each cone, they will be difficult to hold and eat.
  • Be careful when melting the chocolate. If you overheat the chocolate, it will burn and seize up.
  • Let the chocolate-covered popcorn cones cool completely before serving. This will help the chocolate to set and harden.

Conclusion:

Caramel nut chocolate popcorn cones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover popcorn, and they can be customized with your favorite toppings. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and salty snack that everyone will love.
