WONDERSHOP BUTTER TOFFEE POPCORN RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Butter a large, rectangular roasting pan. Place popped popcorn and nuts in pan. Melt butter in medium saucepan. Stir in sugar, corn syrup and salt. Heat to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 8 minutes, stirring only once over lowest heat possible to maintain a low, gentle boil. Remove from heat.
• Stir in vanilla and baking soda. Gradually pour over popped popcorn and nuts, coating well.Turn onto a large, greased baking pan with sides.
• Bake for 30 minutes total, stirring well after 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on lightly buttered or non-stick foil. Store in tightly sealed ziplock bags.

Steps:

• Movie theaters use butter-flavored oil, which has a lower water content than butter so it makes popcorn less soggy. Real clarified butter has the same effect. To make it, melt 2 sticks butter in a glass measuring cup in the microwave. Let sit for a few minutes; the butter will separate into 3 layers. Skim off the top layer of foam, then slowly pour the clarified butter into a heatproof container; discard the bottom layer of milk solids. Use 3 tablespoons hot clarified butter for 10 cups popcorn; refrigerate the rest (it's great for sauteeing).
