Ingredients

  • 12 cups air popped popcorn

  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup Karo syrup

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 squares white almond back

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Toss popcorn and pecans together in *very* large bowl. Set aside.
    Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a large microwaveable bowl. Chop up butter into chunks and place on top of brown sugar mixture. Pour corn syrup over the top of mixture.
  • Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir to combine. Return to microwave and heat for 2 minutes. Remove and stir. Return to microwave one last time for 2 minutes more.
  • Remove from microwave and add in vanilla and baking soda. (Mixture will bubble up and foam quite a bit!) QUICKLY pour hot mixture over top of popcorn and pecans and stir. Continue stirring until all popcorn is well coated.
  • Spread out popcorn mixture onto foil lined jelly roll pan.
  • Bake in oven for 15-18 minutes, stirring a couple of times during cooking process.
    While popcorn is crisping up in the oven, lay out wax or parchment paper on table.
  • After baking, spread out popcorn mixture onto wax or parchment paper to cool completely.
  • Melt almond bark in microwave per package instructions. Using a fork, sprinkle the melted bark all over your spread out popcorn mixture. Let harden completely.
    Store popcorn in an airtight, dry container.
