Pecan Praline Popcorn Treats Recipes

Steps:

• Oil a 9-inch square baking pan.
• Heat sugar in a dry 4-to 5-quart wide heavy pot over medium heat, stirring with a fork to heat sugar evenly, until it starts to melt. Stop stirring and cook, swirling pot occasionally so sugar melts evenly, until it is a deep golden caramel. Reduce heat to low. Stir in butter, pecans, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. When butter is almost melted, add popcorn and stir to coat.
• Quickly press mixture into baking pan with a spatula. Cool completely. Cut or break into pieces.

Steps:

• Grease large rimmed baking sheet; mix warm popcorn with pecans on sheet. Set aside.
• In saucepan, whisk together sugar, butter and corn syrup over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high; boil, without stirring, until candy thermometer registers hard-ball stage of 255°F (124°C), or 1/2 tsp (2 mL) syrup dropped into very cold water forms rigid ball that is still a little pliable, about 4 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Stir in vanilla, salt and baking soda.
• Gradually pour over popcorn mixture, stirring gently until combined. Let cool completely. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 1 week.).

Steps:

• Set oven to 325 degrees.
• In a medium saucepan, combine butter, honey and brown sugar; cook, and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a full boil.
• Stir in baking soda (the mixture will foam).
• In a large bowl, combine popcorn and nuts.
• Pour in the hot syrup; mix well to coat.
• Spread mixture evenly on a large buttered cookie sheet.
• Bake, until a deep golden brown (about 15 minutes), stirring every 5 minutes.
• Cool, and store in a tightly covered container for up to 4 days.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• In large saucepan over medium heat, combine pecans, sugar, butter, brown sugar, milk and vanilla. Heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.
• Drop by spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet. Let cool completely.
