Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield Makes 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 cups popped popcorn (from 1/2 cup kernels)
1 1/2 cups roughly chopped cashews
1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1 1/4 cups packed light-brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
5 ounces white chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Place popcorn and nuts in a large bowl. Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir in corn syrup, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook until sugar dissolves, stirring once or twice. Raise heat to high, and bring to a boil (do not stir). Boil, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 248 degrees, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in baking soda.
  • Pour caramel over popcorn mixture, stirring to coat thoroughly. Transfer to 2 rimmed baking sheets, spreading in a single layer. Bake 45 minutes, stirring twice. Test doneness by removing a few pieces of popcorn from oven; if they crisp within 1 minute, popcorn is ready. Remove from oven, and immediately sprinkle with remaining salt. Let cool completely.
  • Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until melted and completely smooth. Fill a small resealable plastic bag with chocolate, and snip a tiny hole in 1 corner. Drizzle chocolate over caramel corn. Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 10 minutes, before breaking up.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to make the caramel corn. This will give the corn plenty of room to pop and coat evenly in the caramel.
  • Be careful not to overcook the caramel. It should be a light golden brown color, not dark brown.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the caramel by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the caramel hardens and forms a ball, it is ready.
  • Add the cashews and white chocolate chips to the caramel corn while it is still warm. This will help them to adhere to the corn.
  • Let the caramel corn cool completely before storing it. This will help to prevent it from becoming sticky.

Conclusion:

White chocolate caramel corn with cashews is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and salty treat that is sure to be a hit with family and friends.
