    Recipe



    A candy thermometer is handy to have for this recipe to test the temperature of the syrup that binds the popcorn and nuts together.

    Mix popcorn and peanuts together in a large bowl or pan.

    Cook molasses and sugar together until the mixture reaches a temperature of 235 degrees on a candy thermometer. If you don't have a thermometer, test the syrup by letting some drop from a spoon into a cup of cold water. The syrup is done when it forms a thread as it drops into the water.

    Pour hot syrup mixture over the popcorn nut mixture and stir to coat evenly. Cool and break into chunks with a wooden spoon. Stored in an airtight container, mixture will keep well for 4 to 6 weeks.
