Almond Butter Pretzel Popcorn Recipes

CARAMEL PRETZEL NUT POPCORN

Steps:

• Place the pretzels, popcorn and peanuts into a large paper bag or, if you have one, a very large bowl. Set aside.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Cook, stirring to melt the butter and dissolve the sugar, until the mixture comes to a boil. Once the mixture is at a full boil, continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Remove from the heat, and stir in the salt, vanilla, and baking soda. The mixture will foam up when you add the soda, so use a long spoon to stir. Immediately pour the sugar mixture over the popcorn and pretzels in the bag. Shake until evenly coated. For a crispier treat, boil the sugar mixture longer, or bake the finished mix in the oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 10 minutes.

CANDIED ALMOND BARK POPCORN

Steps:

• Place packaged popcorn in the microwave; cook on high until popping begins to slow down, about 2 1/2 minutes. Pour popcorn into a large bowl. Remove any unpopped kernels.
• Place almond bark in a saucepan and melt over medium-low heat, stirring constantly so it does not burn on the bottom, about 8 minutes. Pour melted almond bark over popcorn and stir to coat evenly. Pour out onto a baking sheet to cool.

LIP-SMACKING POPCORN CONCOCTION

Steps:

• Cover a large flat surface with waxed paper. In a large bowl, stir together the popcorn, cereal, corn chips, almonds, and pretzels.
• Melt the confectioners' coating in a glass bowl in the microwave for 1 minute. Continue to cook at 30 second intervals, stirring between each one, until the coating is smooth.
• Pour melted coating over the cereal mixture. It's best to use a large metal spoon, and pour 1 or 2 spoonfuls at a time then mix to ensure even distribution. (A second person can be useful here - one to pour, one to mix.) Once everything is coated, spread the mixture out onto waxed paper in a thin layer. Let stand for about 1/2 hour, or until coating is dry. Transfer to a bowl to serve, or store in an airtight container.

ALMOND BARK POPCORN

Steps:

• Melt the peanut butter and almond bark together in the microwave or on low on the stove.
• Dump the popped popcorn, peanuts, rice krispies and peanuts together in a large bowl.
• Pour the almond bark/peanut butter mixture over and mix well.
• Lay out on a grease cookie sheet.
• Let harden.
• Put in zip lock bags.
• I'm guessing on servings; I'd say 16-20.
