EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Pecans or peanuts can be used in place of the almonds in this recipe.

Save prep time by using purchased popped popcorn.

Use a large saucepan to prepare the caramel; the baking soda will cause the mixture to foam up.

To toast almonds, spread on cookie sheet; bake at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.

Very fast to make, and tastes so much better than the pre-packaged stuff which is usually stale!
