Snicker's Popcorn

Here is a recipe for SNICKERS POPCORN

that I made for last year to give as little gifts to our guests as they were leaving
on Thanksgiving Day.

It was DELICIOUS...

Ingredients:

8 quarts of air popped popcorn (about 2 cups of kernels)

1 cup butter

2 cups light brown sugar, packed

1 tsp. salt

½ cup light corn syrup

1 tsp. baking soda

1 cup salted peanuts (I didn't use these, because I forgot to buy them!)

30 "Fun Size" Snickers bars, coarsely chopped

3 oz. semi sweet chocolate, melted (optional)

Pop your popcorn...

Over medium heat, boil butter, brown sugar, salt

and corn syrup for 5 minutes...

Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda.

I used my LARGE roasting pan.

Pour this mixture over your popcorn and stir to coat evenly.

Add the salted peanuts.

Yes, the Colonel helped...

Bake your popcorn in a 200 degree oven

for 1 hour and 15 minutes

stirring every 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and stir in your coarsely chopped Snickers.

Return to the oven for another 5 minutes so the Snickers can

melt into the popcorn.

The candy does not have to completely melt.

But I was sort of doing other things and ours melted completely.

Hey, I was busy preparing for Thanksgiving!

It still was DELICIOUS!

Remove from oven and drizzle with the melted chocolate.

Let cool before packaging in cellophane packages or transferring to an air-tight container...

Now get out your card stock and ribbon and

make a pretty card to label the bags...

All ready to give out...

This is a DELICIOUS way to eat popcorn as a special treat.

Enjoy your day!
