How to Make Caramel Nut Popcorn Clusters
- In a medium microwave-safe glass bowl, combine 1 (14 ounce) package of caramels and 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream.
- Microwave on high for 3 minutes, or until the caramels are completely melted and smooth, stirring once halfway through.
- In a large bowl, combine 6 cups of popped popcorn (about 1/2 cup kernels), 1 cup of salted peanuts (or your favorite nuts), and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips (optional).
- Gradually drizzle the melted caramel sauce over the popcorn and nuts, gently tossing to ensure every piece is evenly coated.
- Line a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Spread the caramel popcorn mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake at 250°F (120°C) for 1 hour, or until the caramel is set and golden brown. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
- Let the clusters cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking them into smaller pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
