For Christmas this year, I gave away all homemade gifts (I’m going to post blogs about them over the next little while). This popcorn was really easy to make and pretty addictive. I kind’ve had to make a second batch because I ate too much of the first one myself….
So there you have it.
Here’s what you need:
1/2 cup popcorn kernels, unpopped
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup honey
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup cashews
Here’s what you do:
Pop the popcorn. How? Put a good dollop of olive oil in a large pot and turn it on medium to high heat. Once the oil looks really freakin’ hot, throw a single kernel of popcorn in it and see if it pops. If it does, toss the rest of the kernels in and put a lid on the pot (if not, keep heating the oil). Let it do its thing and once you hear the popping slow down, give the pot a little shake to pop any leftover kernels. Voila.
This sounds divine!! Will have to try it this weekend!
This stuff is so addicting! I had to make 2 batches over the holidays as well.
