Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 12 cups popped popcorn (from 1/2 cup kernels)
  • 1 1/2 cups roughly chopped cashews
  • 1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 1/4 cups packed light-brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 5 ounces white chocolate, chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Place popcorn and nuts in a large bowl. Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir in corn syrup, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook until sugar dissolves, stirring once or twice. Raise heat to high, and bring to a boil (do not stir). Boil, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 248 degrees, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in baking soda.

Pour caramel over popcorn mixture, stirring to coat thoroughly. Transfer to 2 rimmed baking sheets, spreading in a single layer. Bake 45 minutes, stirring twice. Test doneness by removing a few pieces of popcorn from oven; if they crisp within 1 minute, popcorn is ready. Remove from oven, and immediately sprinkle with remaining salt. Let cool completely.

Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until melted and completely smooth. Fill a small resealable plastic bag with chocolate, and snip a tiny hole in 1 corner. Drizzle chocolate over caramel corn. Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 10 minutes, before breaking up.

                Made this for Christmas gift boxes and it was my most requested recipe that year.  Delicious, easy recipe.  The cashews are a wonderful addition that most people don't expect.

                I made this today and thought it was delicious. It was pretty simple, and is just a nice fall snack to serve at a party when guests will be grazing (rather than a sit down meal). I added extra sea salt because I love the flavor of salted caramel.
