How to cook deliciously - Cashew Caramel Corn

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

2. Stage

Mix popcorn and cashews together in a large roasting pan.

3. Stage

Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, salt, and cream of tartar in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until a candy thermometer inserted into the middle of the syrup, not touching the bottom, reads 260 degrees F (127 degrees C), 6 to 8 minutes.

4. Stage

Remove syrup from heat; stir in baking soda. Pour over popcorn and cashews; stir to coat.

5. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven, stirring every 20 minutes, until sugar mixture has baked and caramelized onto popcorn and cashews, about 1 hour. Spread cashew caramel corn onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to cool. If desired, form into balls while still warm.
