Caramel-Nut Popcorn Crunch

Caramel-Nut Popcorn CrunchThis crunchy, buttery caramel nut popcorn is so yummy, it'll disappear fast—one bite after another.

Recipe Ingredients:

2 1/2 quarts popped popcorn
1 cup pecans
1/2 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

Cooking Directions:

  1. Spread popped popcorn and nuts in a large shallow pan and place in a preheated 250°F (120°C) oven.
