Ingredients

  • 10 cups popcorn, unpopped kernels removed see note
  • ¾ cup whole almonds
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar firmly packed
  • ¼ cup light corn syrup
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 oz white chocolate chopped
  • 2 oz dark chocolate chopped
  • ½ cup Cadbury Eggs broken (I just place these in a plastic baggie and smack a few times with a rolling pin)
  • ⅓ cup pastel M&Ms

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 250F (120C) and line a large cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly grease with butter. Pour popcorn evenly over the pan, scatter almonds evenly over the pan, and place in center rack of preheated oven to keep warm while you prepare candy coating.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine butter, sugars, corn syrup, and salt. Measure out vanilla extract and baking soda and set aside, but do not pour in pot.
  3. Heat butter/sugar mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved.
  4. Stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and baking soda until completely combined.
  6. Remove popcorn from oven and pour caramel evenly over the popcorn. Use a spatula to toss to coat the popcorn and almonds as well as you can to coat them (you will not be able to coat completely, aim for 75%).
  7. Return popcorn to oven and bake on 250F (120C) for 45 minutes, using a spatula to stir every 15 minutes.
  8. Once finished baking, remove from oven.
  9. Melt chopped chocolate in separate bowls and drizzle over the popcorn.
  10. Drop candy pieces evenly over the popcorn. Allow chocolate to harden, undisturbed, before enjoying.
