I can tell this recipe has served me faithfully for a long time by the old dog-eared recipe card. These crisp caramel corn clusters are a holiday treat my family enjoys munching. Ingredients:
5 quarts popped popcorn |
2 cups mixed nuts |
1-1/2 teaspoons butter |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup honey |
1/2 cup corn syrup |
1 cup peanut butter |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon molasses |
Directions:
1. Line baking sheets with waxed paper; set aside. Combine popcorn and nuts in a large roasting pan. Bake at 250° for 10-15 minutes or until warm. Meanwhile, grease the sides of a heavy saucepan with 1-1/2 teaspoons butter. Combine the sugar, honey and corn syrup in saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 2 minutes without stirring.
2. Remove from the heat; stir in peanut butter, vanilla and molasses. Pour over warm popcorn mixture and stir to coat. Working quickly, use buttered hands to form mixture into 1-1/2-in. clusters. Place on prepared baking sheets to dry. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Yield: about 12 dozen.
