Yield Makes about 30 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

25 cups (from about 1 cup kernels) popped popcorn
4 cups raw whole macadamia nuts, toasted (about 1 pound)
1 1/4 cups packed light-brown sugar
5 tablespoons light corn syrup
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Put popcorn in a large bowl. Add the nuts; set aside. Put sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until mixture comes to a gentle simmer, about 4 minutes. Stop stirring; continue cooking until mixture lightens in color, 5 minutes more. Remove from heat; stir in baking soda.
  • Pour sugar mixture over popcorn and nuts; toss to coat. Transfer to rimmed baking sheets; bake, stirring every 20 minutes, until almost dry, about 1 hour. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.

This popcorn was a disaster! The macadamia butter crunch topping was too hard and the popcorn was burnt. I followed the recipe exactly so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and the popcorn was nice and crispy.

I tried this recipe and it turned out great! The popcorn was light and fluffy, and the macadamia butter crunch topping was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again.

This popcorn is amazing! I made it for a party last weekend and everyone loved it. It's so easy to make and it's the perfect snack for any occasion.

I've been making this popcorn for years and it's always a hit. It's the perfect balance of sweet and salty, and the macadamia nuts add a nice crunchy texture. I usually double the recipe because it goes so fast.
