| Put popcorn in big bowl. Combine sugar, syrup, and butter in 1 1/2 saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly. When mixture turns caramel color (about 7 minutes) test. Mixture is done at hard ball stage ( a small amount of mixture will form into a ball if dropped in cold water). It doesn’t really turn too brown. The longer you boil it-the crunchier the corn. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour over popcorn and nuts and mix well. Can put nuts in oven and bake for 5 minutes to make crunchier. |
