Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Yield 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

7 -9 cups popped corn (preferably not microwave)
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Mix sauce ingredients [EXCEPT THE VANILLA!] in a saucepan.
  • Cook to 250 degrees on a candy thermometer for popcorn balls [or until a few drops form a hard ball when dropped into cold water].
  • This can be cooked to a lower temp if you are just going to drizzle this over popcorn in a pan for smaller bite-sized pieces - and don't want to break a tooth on the hard-ball caramel.
  • Remove from heat.
  • NOW stir in 1 tsp vanilla.
  • Pour in a thin stream over the popped corn, stirring constantly to mix well.
  • Shape into balls, if desired.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h13m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Vegetable cooking spray
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/3 cup popcorn kernels
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 cups (12-ounces) mini marshmallows
6 fun-size caramel peanut chocolate bars (such as Snickers), cut into 1/4-inch pieces
3 (3-inch) chocolate chip cookies, crumbled
1/3 cup chopped salted almonds,
1/2 cup orange and black chocolate candies (such as M and Ms)

Steps:

  • Spray the inside of a large mixing bowl with vegetable cooking spray, and lightly spray a baking sheet. Set aside.
  • In a 3 quart or larger, heavy-bottomed pan, heat the oil and popcorn over medium-high heat. Cover the pan and shake gently. Cook until all the kernels have popped, about 3 minutes. Place the popcorn in the prepared bowl.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over low heat. Add the vanilla extract and marshmallows. Stir constantly until the marshmallows have melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn. Using a spatula, sprayed with cooking spray, stir until the popcorn is coated. Spread the mixture over the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with the chocolate bar pieces, cookies, almonds and chocolate candies. Using a spatula, gently press the toppings into the popcorn. Allow the mixture to dry for 1 hour.
  • Break into 2-inch pieces and store airtight in a plastic container.
  • Serving Suggestion: Place in small plastic bags and seal with colored ribbon.
