This old-time favourite is the ideal gift for adults and children alike. Place the popcorn in a glass jar or clear cellophane bag tied with a festive ribbon and sprig of holly for a sensationally crunchy gift. You'll need one bag of microwave popcorn or 1/2 cup (125 mL) unpopped kernels to make the amount called for.

Ingredients

Method

Grease large rimmed baking sheet; mix warm popcorn with almonds on sheet. Set aside.

In saucepan, whisk together sugar, butter and corn syrup over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high; boil, without stirring, until candy thermometer registers hard-ball stage of 255°F (124°C), or 1/2 tsp (2 mL) syrup dropped into very cold water forms rigid ball that is still a little pliable, about 4 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Stir in vanilla and baking soda.

Gradually pour over popcorn mixture, stirring gently until combined. Let cool completely. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 1 week.)
