Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with nonstick baking mats; set aside.
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add 3 popcorn kernels and cover until they pop. Add remaining popcorn kernels, cover, and shake pot continuously over burner until popcorn is completely popped, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer popcorn to large bowl; add peanuts and set aside.
- Combine butter, sugar, and corn syrup in a medium pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until sugar has dissolved. Increase heat to medium-high, and cook, without stirring, until golden brown, about 5 minutes, swirling pot occasionally.
- Remove mixture from heat and quickly stir in salt and cayenne with a heatproof spatula or spoon. Immediately pour over popcorn mixture and stir to incorporate. Divide popcorn mixture evenly between baking sheets. Transfer to oven and bake, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Let cool on sheet pans before breaking apart into clusters. Store popcorn in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Steps:
- Preheat conventional oven to 350 degrees. Oil a large baking sheet and a large spoon. Set aside.
- Stir sugar, corn syrup and water together in a 2 1/2-quart souffle dish. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power in a high-power microwave oven for 4 minutes. Stir.
- Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap. Cook for 31 minutes.
- While syrup is cooking, place pecans on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, stirring once. Set aside.
- Remove syrup dish from oven. Prick plastic to release steam. Uncover and let stand for 2 minutes. Use the spoon to carefully stir in popcorn and nuts. Let stand for 5 minutes, turning the popcorn over in the mixture from time to time to make sure that the popcorn and the nuts are well coated.

- When cool, break into chunks with a wooden mallet or rolling pin. Store in an airtight container.

DELICIOUS POPCORN CRUNCH
Popcorn and candy in a candy sauce. Great for the holidays! Not too chewy and won't stick to your teeth (unless you overcook the sauce)! You can customize the candy, dried fruit, and nuts to what you like. Canadian Smarties® can be used instead of M&M's®. I've known people to press the mixture into a cake pan and cut pieces, too.

CANDY CANE POPCORN CRUNCH
This recipe came from a booklet produced by ATCO Gas & Electric Company (Blue Flame Kitchen division). This recipe is deviously simple while being astonishingly delicious....which is a great combination especially for the busy holiday season. I used this recipe for a bridal shower favour (Christmas wedding)and it was such a hit.....that I ended up making an additional batch to send back for my son (the groom to be) and my daughter's boyfriend (they live in a city about 5 hours away). The men loved it also!!! For the bridal shower, I made individual cellophane bags of the popcorn crunch. Tied with white ribbon, two wedding rings and a gift tag specifying the shower date and the upcoming wedding date. With the white chocolate and crushed candy canes....this little number looked very elegant....I plan to use it also for Christmas gift bags....Hope you give it a try and like it as much as we do....

Steps:
- Pop popcorn.
- 1/2 cup of unpopped popcorn yields approximately 10 cups of popped popcorn.
- Make 24 cups of popcorn.
- This is approximate-- not to worry if you have 22 cups or 28 cups-- it is a forgiving recipe.
- Put candy canes into a food processor.
- Finely crush.
- Melt dipping wafers following the package instructions.
- I used the microwave instructions-- very simple& easy.
- Put popcorn into a large bowl-- you need a really big bowl-- I actually used 2 bowls.
- Add melted dipping wafers to popcorn and stir to coat.
- A gentle hand is a good idea-- Add crushed candy canes and gently mix.
- Spread popcorn mixture onto paper lined cookie sheets.
- I used non stick aluminum foil-- it worked well-- I used 2 cookie sheets.
- Place cookie sheets in frig for approximately 30 minutes or until coating hardens-- I had 2 cookie sheets and not enough frig space so I put 1 cookie sheet in the frig and the other cookie sheet in the freezer (for 15 minutes only) to harden the coating-- Remove from frig/freezer-- break into pieces.
- Store in airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 weeks (I have not tried storing in the freezer yet).

13 BEST POPCORN RECIPES - THE SPRUCE EATS

Estimated Reading Time 4 mins
- Rainbow Popcorn. For a fun activity the kids will enjoy, try this easy colorful popcorn recipe. Try making a few different batches with a rainbow of colors for a pretty platter that will brighten up any party or make eyes pop if you give them as gifts.
- Truffle Popcorn. Turn movie night or any time into a decadent experience by adding truffle salt to your stovetop-popped corn. This flavorful condiment can get pricey, but a little goes a long way.
- Peanut Butter Popcorn. Coating popcorn in a sweet mixture of honey, creamy peanut butter, and corn syrup creates a delicious treat. It makes an excellent gift for teachers (assuming your class doesn't have any peanut allergies), a bake sale addition, or as a homemade holiday present.
- Copycat Moose Munch. Some call it moose munch, some call it muddy sneakers, others call it a totally different name, but this blend of toasted nuts and popcorn covered in caramel and chocolate hits the spot no matter what you name it.
- Zebra Popcorn. We call this zebra popcorn because it gets drizzled with both white and dark chocolate after a sweet caramel coating. You can use pre-popped or microwave popcorn instead of stovetop or air popping it, but make sure to get just plain or salted so it doesn't compete with the topping.
- Fruity Popcorn. The bright colors and fruity flavor in this unique candy-coated popcorn comes from Jell-O, so you have a wide array to choose from. Salted peanuts adds a nice contrast to the sweet popcorn, but you can leave them out if you don't love nuts or need to be allergy-conscious.
- Candy Cane Popcorn. For a minty treat that tastes just like the holidays, reach for this candy cane popcorn. It uses crushed candy canes and white chocolate for that fresh and sweet flavor, and makes a delectable party snack or an edible gift.
- Quick Cheddar Popcorn. Make cheesy popcorn with real grated cheese instead of that electric orange fake stuff for a more assertive, real cheddar flavor.
- Green Caramel Corn. Whether you need a St. Patrick's Day snack or just want to entertain the kids with a fun afternoon activity, reach for this green caramel corn.
- Bacon Caramel Corn. For a sweet and salty treat, add bacon and pecans to caramel corn. The result tastes similar to candied bacon, with a crunchy texture that will have you reaching for handful after handful.
