Recipe Summary Caramel Pretzel Nut Popcorn
This is a very good holiday treat the my kids can't get enough of. It combines the sweetness of caramel with the saltiness of pretzels, nuts and popcorn. There is no mess because it is mixed in a large throw-away brown bag!Ingredients | Honey Caramel Popcorn8 cups broken salted pretzels20 cups popped popcorn4 cups dry roasted peanuts3 cups brown sugar¾ cup light corn syrup1 ½ cups butter1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon baking soda2 teaspoons vanilla extractDirectionsPlace the pretzels, popcorn and peanuts into a large paper bag or, if you have one, a very large bowl. Set aside.In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Cook, stirring to melt the butter and dissolve the sugar, until the mixture comes to a boil. Once the mixture is at a full boil, continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.Remove from the heat, and stir in the salt, vanilla, and baking soda. The mixture will foam up when you add the soda, so use a long spoon to stir. Immediately pour the sugar mixture over the popcorn and pretzels in the bag. Shake until evenly coated. For a crispier treat, boil the sugar mixture longer, or bake the finished mix in the oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 10 minutes.Info | Honey Caramel Popcornprep:
