Time 1h15m

Yield about 13 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

Cooking spray
12 cups plain popped popcorn
1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda Salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Generously coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Toss the popcorn and pecans on the prepared baking sheet. Transfer to the oven while preparing the syrup.
  • Combine the brown sugar, butter and honey in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the butter is completely melted. Increase the heat to high and boil, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the chile powder, baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt. Remove the popcorn mixture from the oven; slowly pour the syrup over the top and gently stir to coat.
  • Return the popcorn to the oven and bake until the caramel is dry and hardened, stirring halfway through, about 1 hour. Let cool on the baking sheet.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my popcorn turned out too hard. I think I overcooked it.

This candied popcorn is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I was a bit skeptical about the chipotle flavor, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's not too spicy, and it adds a nice depth of flavor to the popcorn.

This candied popcorn was a hit at my last party! The sweet and spicy flavors were balanced perfectly, and the pecans added a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making this again.
