Expert Tips

This is a great gift for friends and family, especially around the holidays. Surprise them by adding a colorful toothbrush and some flavored dental floss to each gift bag. It might be worth a chuckle or two.

For easy cleanup, line each baking pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil before adding popcorn.

Sometimes people like just one kind of nut or another; others like theirs all mixed up. So have a little fun with the combination of nuts you use; try one, two or all three of the choices!

Great recipe! I added 1 tsp vanilla (thank you utah chef) and used 1 ex-large bowl instead of 2 baking dishes (thank you D=). I put the popcorn and unsalted peanuts in the bowl and put in the 200degree oven to warm while making candy. Used the 3qt pot and started the 5 minute timer just after seeing the first bubbles on side of pot. Made two batches and both were perfect!

This is wonderful! =) I added vanilla after stirring in the baking soda and replaced the pecans with dry roasted peanuts..DELICIOUS. Bet my family will eat it all before the day is over. =) For a cheaper alternative, I air-popped the popcorn into a very large metal bowl (with no rubber on it;) and just left the popcorn in that bowl to put it in the oven...saved me from washing a few more big dishes; much easier to stir w/o getting it all over the counter; served it in the large bowl. Hope you enjoy it, too. Excellent warm or cold!
