I got this recipe a few years ago from a coworker; my wife ends up making a few batches every Christmas.
Super Addictive Carmel Nut Popcorn
One cup pecan halves
One cup blanched almond slivers
Eight cups popped popcorn
One and a third cups sugar
One cup butter or margarine
Half cup corn syrup
Half teaspoon cream of tartar
Half teaspoon baking soda
One teaspoon vanilla
Lightly toast the almonds and pecans in a 300 F. oven. Cool then combine with the popcorn in a large buttered bowl.
Combine sugar, butter, corn syrup and cream of tartar in a heavy sauce pan. Cook until mixture forms a hard ball dropped into cold water (252 degrees on a candy thermometer) or approximately 5 minutes cooking time.
Remove from heat, stir in soda then vanilla. Pour over popcorn/nut mixture and stir till evenly coated. Turn out onto buttered cookie sheets and quickly press into an even layer.
Chill until set then break into chunks to serve.

Since I am not wearing my glasses I thought this said:
Camel Toe Popcorn

Me too. But because I was wearing my Linkswarm glasses. |

Sounds good.
The recipe, not the camel toe thing.

sounds good (both the camel toe AND the recipe).

The fact that the top two threads right now are "caramel nut popcorn" and "watching someone die" fills me with glee. |
