How to Make Golden Almond Popcorn
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir in 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly.
- Boil for exactly 5 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. The mixture will foam up.
- Add 1 cup of toasted slivered almonds, stirring to coat evenly.
- Gently fold in 6 cups of popped popcorn, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
- Pour the mixture onto a greased 10x15x1-inch baking pan or cookie sheet.
- Bake in the center of a preheated 300°F (150°C) oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even browning.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.
- Once cool, break into pieces and store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
- For best results, use freshly popped popcorn.
