How to Make Nutty Gourmet Popcorn Snack
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup margarine, and 1/4 cup light corn syrup.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula.
- Continue to boil, stirring continuously, for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture reaches a light amber caramel color (around 245-250°F on a candy thermometer).
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
- Pour the caramel mixture evenly over 6 cups of popped popcorn and 1 cup of your favorite mixed nuts (peanuts, cashews, pecans, etc.). Stir gently to coat completely.
- Spread the popcorn mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool completely. Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
