Husband-Tested in Alice's Kitchen
Plan a special movie night, invite
your favorite people over and make this special and delicious treat for
snacking while the film plays. You can
make this in advance and so you’ll have time to enjoy the party too.
4
cups plain popcorn (about ¼ cup of kernels)
¾
cup raw unsalted cashews
3 Tablespoons
butter
2 Tablespoons
honey
½
teaspoon dried cinnamon
¼
teaspoon ground ginger
¼
teaspoon salt
Parchment
paper recommended for baking
Preheat
the oven to 325 degrees F.
In a
small pot over low heat melt the butter and honey together. Mix in the
cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
Put
the cashews in an extra large mixing bowl. Coat them with about a tablespoon of
the butter/honey mixture.
Spread
the coated nuts onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and bake for 6
minutes.
Meanwhile,
in the same large bowl evenly coat the plain popcorn - minus any unpopped
kernels - with the remaining butter/honey mixture.
After
the cashews have been in the oven for 6 minutes, take out the tray, add the
popcorn to it, and mix it all up together. Stick the tray back in the oven and
set the timer for 4 minutes.
After
4 minutes open the oven and stir or shake the mixture around on the baking
sheet. Set the timer for 2 more minutes.
Once
again open the oven and stir/shake the mixture so there are no hot spots that
could get burnt. Set the timer for 1 more minute at which point the mixture
will once again need to be checked/stirred.
Repeat
the process of checking/stirring the popcorn mixture every minute then take it
out of the oven once it turns a dark brown. (It can burn easily toward the
end!)
The popcorn
and nuts will be slightly wet right out of the oven, but will harden as they cool.
