Ingredients:
5 cup(s) popcorn |
5 cup(s) assorted japanese rice crackers(not fish flavor) |
1 1/2 cup(s) cocktail peanuts |
1/2 cup(s) wasabi peas |
1/2 cup(s) sesame seeds |
1 cup(s) packed dark br. sugar |
1/2 cup(s) dark or light corn syrup |
1 stick(s) unsalted butter |
1 teaspoon(s) salt |
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 225 degrees. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. Toss the popcorn, rice crackers, peanuts, sesame seeds and wasabi peas in a large bowl.
2. Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over med-hi heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then cook, stirring, until thick, about 1 more minute. Remove from the heat. Carefully stir in the vanilla and baking soda(the caramel will bubble).
3. Pour the hot caramel over the popcorn mixture and stir with a metal spoon. (Don't worry if the caramel is too thick to coat the mix; it will melt in the oven.) Spread on the prepared baking sheets; bake, stirring every 15 min., until evenly coated, 45 min. to 1 hr. Let cool completely. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
