By á-6416

Ingredients

• 12 c. popped popcorn
• 1 c. sugar
• 1/2 c. butter
• 1/2 c. light corn syrup
• 1/4 c. water
• 1 c. chopped almonds, toasted
• 1/2 t. vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Place popcorn in a large heat-proof bowl; remove any unpopped kernels and set aside. In a large saucepan, combine remaining ingredients except vanilla. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture reaches the soft-crack stage, or 270 to 289 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat; add vanilla and stir well. Pour over popcorn, mixing until coated. Spread on wax paper to dry. Makes about 12 cups.
