Popcorn Caramel Crunch
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.
8 Servings
Prep: 15 min. + cooling
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
In a large greased bowl, combine the popcorn, peanuts, noodles and
raisins; set aside.
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.
Pour over popcorn mixture; stir until evenly coated. Immediately pour
onto a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan.
When cool enough to handle, break into pieces. Store in airtight
containers. Yield: about 8 cups.
