Oven Baked Caramel Popcorn With Nuts Recipes

OVEN-BAKED CARAMEL POPCORN {WITH NUTS}

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Spray two large, rimmed baking sheet pans with non-stick spray.
• Add popcorn and peanuts to a large, oven-proof mixing bowl that has been coated with non-stick spray. (I use a large stainless steel bowl.) Place in oven to warm while making syrup.
• In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, salt, and molasses. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Continue to boil, stirring often, until the mixture reaches a hardball stage of 260 degrees on a candy thermometer (about 5 minutes).
• Remove from heat and whisk in the baking soda. Mixture may foam a little.
• Immediately pour the hot mixture, in a thin stream, over the warm popcorn. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the caramel into the popcorn until all of the popcorn is coated.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared sheet pans, spreading it out to cover pans.
• Bake for 45 minutes, stirring the caramel from bottom of pan and into the mixture every 15 minutes. Cool and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

• Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and the baking soda. Be careful - as the mixture will bubble up.
• Gradually pour the caramel over the popped corn, mixing well. (I usually have the popcorn in 2 big bowls to give me enough room to stir to coat it with caramel.)
• Turn the coated popcorn out onto 2 large, shallow baking sheets. I usually use half sheet baking sheets.

CARAMEL NUT TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Between 2 sheets of wax paper roll out dough into a 14-inch round (about 1/8 inch thick). Transfer dough to a baking sheet and chill 10 minutes. Lift top sheet of wax paper from dough and gently replace on top (this will facilitate removal of paper later). Flip dough over, discarding wax paper now on top, and carefully invert dough into an 11-inch tart pan with a removable fluted rim. Lightly press dough up side of rim, using pieces from overhang to patch any holes. Chill shell 30 minutes, or until firm.
• Line shell with foil, folding over edge to cover pastry entirely, and fill with pie weights or raw rice. Bake shell on a baking sheet in middle of oven 35 minutes and carefully remove foil and weights or rice. If bottom of crust still has patches of translucent undercooked dough, return shell to oven without foil and weights or rice and bake until pastry is completely cooked and golden, 3 to 5 minutes more. Cool shell in pan on a rack.
• Reduce temperature to 350°F.
• Coarsely chop nuts. In a 3-quart heavy saucepan melt butter with brown sugar and honey, stirring, and simmer 1 minute. Stir in nuts and cream. Simmer mixture 1 minute and pour into shell. Bake tart on baking sheet in middle of oven 30 minutes, or until filling is a few shades darker. Cool tart in pan on rack.
• Chop chocolate and in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate, stirring until smooth. Cool chocolate slightly and transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a #3 plain tip (slightly smaller than 1/8 inch). (Alternatively, transfer chocolate to a small heavy-duty sealable plastic bag. Squeeze chocolate into one corner of bag and with scissors cut a tiny slice off corner to form a small hole.) Pipe thin lines of chocolate over tart in a back and forth motion to form stripes. Tart may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.
• Serve caramel tart chilled or at room temperature with ice cream and tuiles.
