How To make Pecan Cashew Popcorn Balls
1 c Sugar
1 c Brown sugar; firm pack
1 c Light corn syrup
2/3 c Water
1 lb Butter
2 c Pecan halves; toasted
2 c Cashews; lightly toasted
8 c Popped popcorn
Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup and water in a heavy pan fitted with a candy thermometer and place over high heat. Bring mixture to a boil and add the butter, stirring until it has melted. Continue cooking until the mixture reached 350~, 20-30 minutes. In a LARGE, lightly oiled bowl, toss the nuts and popcorn together. Carefully pour the hot syrup over the popcorn- nut mixture. Carefully, but quickly, toss the mixture with a long-handled wooden spoon to coat the popcorn and nuts completely with syrup. As soon as the mixture is cool enough to handle, quickly shape into 3" balls and place the balls onto a nonstick or lightly oiled baking sheet to coool. Store, tightly wrapped, in a cool place. Wrap popcorn balls individually in squares of amber cellophane, tied up with gold or orange and black ribbon (these are meant for Halloween). Or pile the balls together into a basket with red apples and wrap the basket up in cellophane with orange and black ribbon. Or place the balls in a brown paper bag and tie with a ribbon.

Recipe adapted from Cookie & Kate Cinnamon Maple Caramel Popcorn
Ingredients
6 cups popped organic popcorn
A handful of pecans,peanuts or nuts(optional)
½ cup maple syrup or liquid sweetener of your choice
3 tablespoons cashew or almond butter (I used cashew, make sure your nut butter is runny not too thick)
1 or 11/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 325 if you're using honey as the sweetener. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cooking the caramel sauce: In a small, heavy bottomed pot, nonstick if possible bring the maple syrup to a boil over medium heat. Keep a watchful eye on the syrup and continue boiling for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, reducing heat only if necessary to prevent overflow. Remove the pot from heat.
Add the nut butter a tbsp at a time until you get the consistency you want, then the vanilla extract, salt and cinnamon to the pot of maple syrup. Whisk until well blended. Add the nuts to the popcorn, then drizzle the maple mixture over the popcorn and nuts. Toss with a spatula or spoon until well mixed. Pour the popcorn onto the parchment-covered baking sheet spread in a single layer.
Baking Instructions and Tips
Bake the popcorn for 6-8 minutes at 350F. If you use honey or another sweetener cook it for 8-10 minutes at 325F.
Important Tips: Cook additional time if needed lower the temperature to 300F and bake until more crispy,I cooked mine an additional few minutes to make sure it was crispy. It will also crisp up if you let it set and cool afterwards. Enjoy!
