How to Make Butterscotch Cashew Popcorn Soooo Good
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine 10 cups of popcorn (popped), 1 cup of cashews, and 1 cup of butterscotch chips.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 1 cup of butter. Stir in 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup corn syrup, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Once boiling, continue to stir for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Pour the butterscotch sauce over the popcorn and nut mixture. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- Spread the popcorn mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the popcorn is evenly coated and slightly caramelized.
- Let the popcorn cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking it into smaller pieces and serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
