Ingredients
-
1 1/3 Cups Tony’s Praline Honey Ham Injectable Marinade
-
1/4 Cup Unsalted Butter
-
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
-
8 1/2 Cups Popped Popcorn
-
3/4 Cup Unsalted Peanuts
-
3/4 Cup Pecans
-
2 Cups Chocolate Covered Caramels
-
1/4 Cup Toffee Baking Bits
-
3/4 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, Melted
- Clear
Directions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and Tony’s Praline Honey Ham Injectable Marinade. Bring to a boil. Cook until mixture reaches 230°F and sauce is thickened (about 8 minutes). Remove from heat. Stir in baking soda.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together popped popcorn, peanuts and pecans. Pour caramel sauce over the mixture and stir to coat well.
- Prepare a large-rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Grease paper with cooking spray. Evenly spread caramel corn in pan.
- Place pan in a 250°F oven and bake for 45 minutes, stirring the mixture every 15 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven, allow to cool (about 5 minutes).
- Break apart caramel corn. Evenly spread chocolate candy and toffee bits across the pan.
- Melt chocolate in the microwave for 4-6 minutes on power level 3. Place melted chocolate into a storage bag. Cut the tip of the end and drizzle chocolate across the pan.
- Allow mixture to cool. Store in an air-tight storage bag.
NOTES:
- How do you know when the caramel sauce is done? Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the caramel syrup reaches 230°F. The caramel should come to a boil for several minutes.
- How do I store the snack mix? Store the caramel corn in an air-tight container in the pantry and it will keep up to 3 months.
- Can I re-crisp the caramel corn? Line and grease a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake at 250-275°F for 10 minutes. Allow mixture to cool. Repeat baking if the mixture is not crunchy within several minutes of cooling. Be sure to remove any chocolate candies beforehand.
