How to Make Popcorn Crunch
- Pop 10 cups of popcorn (remove unpopped kernels).
- In a large bowl, combine the popped popcorn with 1 cup of your favorite nuts (pecans, walnuts, or a mix!).
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, and ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted margarine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture turns a light amber caramel color.
- Carefully remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately pour the caramel mixture over the popcorn and nuts in the bowl. Stir gently but thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the popcorn mixture in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Allow the Popcorn Crunch to cool completely. Once cool, break into smaller pieces.
- For an extra decadent treat, melt some chocolate chips and drizzle over the cooled Popcorn Crunch or use it as a dip!
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
