POPCORN KRAZY DESSERT CRUNCH

In the following recipe, 1 cup of butter is one of the ingredients. Now I know some of you buy margarine to use in your cooking and baking.  With any recipe that I use that calls for using either butter or margarine, there never is a doubt in mind which I will use to help guarantee a rich, lip-smacking end product. Butter is the only choice for me! The fat in butter helps tenderize the product and make a wonderful flavor as well! 

Baking is an act of love from you to those who eat your tasty treats. If you take precious time from your schedule to make a snack or delicious dessert and want an excellent food product as the result of your efforts, I encourage you to use the richest ingredients you can find such as butter. When friends or family taste your treats, you will receive many pats on the back for your labor of love. 

Fresh buttered popcorn seems to be a staple food in my family. I like to dress up popcorn with more goodies. 

The following is an often requested recipe I received from a friend many years ago. Let me know if you try my POPCORN CRAZY DESSERT CRUNCH. I know you will love it!

2 quarts popped corn, 2/3 cup almonds, 1-1/2 cups pecans, 1-1/2 cups sugar, 1 cup butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 cup clear corn syrup.

Mix popped corn, almonds, and pecans on cookie sheet. Combine butter, sugar, and corn syrup in a 1-1/2 quart saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil, stirring occasionally 10-15 min. til color is a light caramel. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Pour over popped corn and nuts and stir. When cool, break apart and ENJOY!

Until next time,

The Baker
