How to Make Praline Butter Pecan Crunch Popcorn

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup honey, and 1 cup packed light brown sugar.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a rolling boil. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon baking soda. The mixture will foam up – be careful!
In a large bowl, combine 10 cups popped popcorn (about 1/2 cup unpopped kernels) and 1 cup pecan halves.
Pour the hot praline mixture over the popcorn and pecans.
Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure all the popcorn and pecans are evenly coated.
Grease a large baking sheet with butter or cooking spray. Spread the popcorn mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until the popcorn is a deep golden brown and the praline is crisp.
Let the popcorn cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking it into smaller pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
