Directions:
1. Pop popcorn kernels using the Deluxe SmartStoreTM Stirring Popcorn Maker.

3. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Coat a heatproof

4. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and corn syrup, and over
medium-high heat bring to a boil, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
Add the condensed milk and stir just to combine. Reduce the heat to medium
and boil without stirring until the mixture registers 240-245°F on a candy
thermometer (see note for alternative method), about 4 minutes. Off the heat,

5. Working VERY CAREFULLY, pour the hot caramel over the popcorn. Stir, digging
the caramel up from the bottom for 2 minutes, until all the corn is evenly coated.
Take care while stirring not to let the hot mixture touch your hand. Turn the
coated popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it in an even layer.
6. For chewy, slightly sticky caramel corn, cool popcorn for 2 to 4 hours. For crisp
caramel popcorn, bake the popcorn mixture for 20 minutes. Stir, respread the
popcorn, and return to the oven for 20 minutes. Set the baking sheet on a wire
rack and cool completely. The popcorn will crisp as it cools.
7. Crisp Perfect Caramel Corn keeps for 2 days. The chewy kind is best the day it
is made.
8. Alternative method to measure temperature of the caramel: Fill a small bowl
with ice water. Drizzle a small amount of the caramel into the cold water. When it
forms a sticky ball, it has reached 240°F.

 
½ cup popcorn kernels
2 cups pecans, broken lengthwise in half
1 cup salted dry-roasted almonds
1 cup walnuts, broken into large pieces
2 cups (12 ounces) light brown sugar
¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter
½ cup light corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp sea salt
Nutty, Sweet & Salty
POPCORN Crunch
Directions:
1. Pop the popcorn kernels in the Deluxe SmartStoreTM Stirring Popcorn Maker.
2. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment and
set aside. Coat a heatproof spatula with cooking spray.
Ingredients:
Makes 12 servings
NOTE: Working with boiling sugar requires great caution. Wear protective oven
gloves. For safety’s sake, make sure the cat, the dog and young children cannot
come into the kitchen while the caramel is cooking.
3. Place the popcorn in a very large mixing bowl or large pot. Sprinkle the nuts over
the popcorn.
4. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Bring
the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, using a wooden spoon to stir
constantly. Reduce the heat to medium and boil without stirring until the mixture
registers 250°F on a candy thermometer (see note for alternative method). Off
the heat, add the vanilla, baking soda, and salt, standing back as the mixture will
splatter and foam.
5. Working VERY CAREFULLY, pour the hot caramel over the popcorn. Stir, digging
the caramel up from the bottom, until all the corn and nuts are evenly coated.
Take care while stirring not to let the hot mixture touch your hand. Turn the
coated popcorn mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it in an
even layer.
6. Bake the popcorn mixture for 15 minutes. Stir, respread, and return to the oven
for 15 minutes, or until the coated popcorn is the color of caramel candy. If

7. Set the baking sheet on a wire rack. The caramel will harden and crisp as it cools.
When Nutty, Sweet & Salty Popcorn Crunch has cooled completely, break it up
completely or into chunks.
8. Nutty, Sweet & Salty Popcorn Crunch will keep in an airtight container at room
temperature for 5 days.
