Time 25m

Yield 8 cups popcorn

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup butter (no substitutions)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
8 cups popped popcorn
1 (100 g) package pecan pieces

Steps:

  • Set oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine butter, honey and brown sugar; cook, and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a full boil.
  • Stir in baking soda (the mixture will foam).
  • In a large bowl, combine popcorn and nuts.
  • Pour in the hot syrup; mix well to coat.
  • Spread mixture evenly on a large buttered cookie sheet.
  • Bake, until a deep golden brown (about 15 minutes), stirring every 5 minutes.
  • Cool, and store in a tightly covered container for up to 4 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh popcorn for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the popcorn in the pot when popping it. This will result in unevenly popped corn.
  • Be careful not to burn the sugar mixture. If it starts to smoke, remove it from the heat immediately.
  • Stir the popcorn and sugar mixture constantly to prevent it from clumping.
  • Spread the popcorn mixture out on a baking sheet to cool. This will help to prevent it from sticking together.
  • Store the popcorn treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
