Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter, plus more for baking sheet 10 cups plain unsalted popped (from 1/2 cup kernels or a 3.3-ounce bag microwave popcorn) popcorn 1 cup cashews, coarsely chopped (optional) 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar Coarse salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Butter a large rimmed baking sheet; set aside. Place popcorn in a large bowl; if using cashews, add to bowl and toss to combine. Set aside.

In a small saucepan, bring butter, sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons water to a boil, stirring constantly. Working quickly, drizzle popcorn with sugar syrup, and toss.

Spread popcorn evenly on prepared baking sheet. Bake, tossing occasionally, until golden and shiny, about 40 minutes. Transfer hot popcorn to parchment-paper-lined baking sheet; let cool.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       10/03/2018   This is yummy. This is the second time I am making it! The only thing i would suggest is omitting the nuts. They don't seem to do well in this recipe.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/10/2012   Wow, so yummy. I skipped the nuts and instead salted with coarse sea salt. Absolutely amazing! I didn't let the syrup cool and had no shrinkage at all. The house smells great when this bakes!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/02/2009   This was a great recipe. It tasted and smelled like the delicious treat I always get at the fair. I did cut the cook time down to 30 minutes.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/31/2009   I made a batch of this for the super bowl and it was a great success! The only modification I made was the addition of 1 tablespoon light corn syrup and I let the caramel mixture cool before coating the popcorn. I didn't get any shrinkage on mine. YUM!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/15/2009   I poured the hot syrup over the popcorn and they shrunk in the oven. however, they were very yummy. The only thing I will do different next time: MAKE MORE!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/17/2008   If you use cooled syrup it will work out much better. Hope this helps  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/20/2008   I have tried this twice and I can't seem to get it right. When I pour the sugar syrup onto the popcorn, it shrinks up. I tried with both hot popcorn and day old popcorn with the same results. If anybody has a suggestion, let me know. Next I am going to try to let the syrup sit off the heat for a little bit before i pour.
