1cupof pecans
1cupalmonds
1cupof peanuts
2cupsbrown sugarpacked
1/2cuplight Karo syrup
1cupbutter
1/2teaspoonof baking soda
1teaspoonsalt
1teaspoonvanilla
1cupmilk chocolate chipsmelted
Instructions
Pop 3/4 cup unpopped popcorn, remove any unpopped kernels. Mix in your pecans, peanuts and almonds and set aside.
In a medium saucepan melt your butter, then add the brown sugar and light Karo syrup.
Stir together and bring to boil for five minutes.
Remove from the stove and immediately stir in the baking soda, vanilla and salt.
Stir until well combined and smooth.
Pour the hot caramel over the popcorn and nuts in a large bowl and mix until the popcorn and nuts are well coated.
Separate into two sheet pans and bake in a 200° oven for one hour stirring every 15 minutes. *I line my baking sheets with a Silicon Baking Mat which allows the melted chocolate to come off the sheet pan easily and not stick to the pan.
After baking the popcorn, drizzle the melted chocolate chips over one of the pans of popcorn and let it sit until the chocolate has hardened. *To speed it up, you can place it in the freezer or the refrigerator.
Break up the popcorn and mix it together in a large bowl!
Serve and enjoy!
