Course : Popcorn
From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 8
 

Ingredients:

10 cups popcorn -- air-popped
1/3 cup honey
1 cup peanuts -- oil-roasted
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons margarine -- solid
 

Preparation:

1. In a very large bowl or pan, mix popped corn and peanuts.

2. In a small pan, mix the margarine, honey, orange zest and cinnamon. Heat, stirring, until the margarine is melted.

3. With a wooden spoon or spatula in one hand, slowly pour this mixture over popcorn, tossing and mixing lightly as you pour. Place on a large cookie sheet, trying to layer as thinly as possible.

4. Roast at 325 degrees, turning the popcorn every 5 minutes. When crispy, transfer to a platter and cool to room temperature. Do not overcook. May be stored in popcorn can or container at this point.

NOTE: About 1/2 cup corn unpopped; exact measurements are not required for this recipe. If you prefer, use another spice instead of cinnamon. Try nutmeg and allspice, or pumpkin pie spice.

Serving Ideas : Make a batch of this at Halloween for the kids.
