Ingredients
Instructions
-
Pop the popcorn kernels using your preferred method. Transfer the popped popcorn to a large mixing bowl, removing any unpopped kernels.
-
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt. Stir continuously until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted. Bring to a gentle boil without stirring and cook for 3-4 minutes.
-
Remove saucepan from heat and quickly stir in baking soda. The mixture will bubble up; stir until fully incorporated.
-
Pour the hot caramel over the popped popcorn, coating evenly. Toss gently with a spatula to coat all kernels.
-
Sprinkle mixed nuts over the caramel-coated popcorn and fold them in evenly.
-
Melt semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-30 second bursts, stirring until smooth and fully melted. Drizzle melted chocolate over the popcorn mixture.
-
Allow the popcorn to cool and set for 20-30 minutes until caramel hardens and chocolate sets. Optionally, refrigerate to speed up setting.
