I live in popcorn country, and there's even a town nearby that has a Popcorn Days celebration. This is a good snack and also good for entertaining during the holidays, especially because it can be made ahead of time. Ingredients:
4 cups popped popcorn |
1 cup dry roasted peanuts |
1 cup chow mein noodles |
1/2 cup raisins |
1 cup sugar |
3/4 cup butter, cubed |
1/2 cup light corn syrup |
2 tablespoon water |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. In a large greased bowl, combine the popcorn, peanuts, noodles and raisins; set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, corn syrup and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture reaches soft-crack stage (270°-290°) with a candy thermometer. Remove from the heat. Stir in cinnamon.
3. Pour over popcorn mixture; stir until evenly coated. Immediately pour onto a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan.
4. When cool enough to handle, break into pieces. Store in airtight containers. Yield: about 8 cups.
