Almond Cracker Jacks with Sea Salt

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup popcorn, popped, yielding about 12 cups of popcorn
  • 2 cups chopped, roasted, lightly salted almonds
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • Sea salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Place the popcorn in a large stock pot or bowl. Add the almonds and mix.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Whisk in the brown sugar, maple syrup and molasses; bring to a boil. Lower heat to a gentle boil and cook for 5 minutes while stirring.
  • Remove from heat and pour molasses mixture over the popcorn, while gently tossing with salad tongs.
  • Divide mixture between two greased baking sheets and bake for 50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Take out of the oven, sprinkle with sea salt and let cool. Yields about 14 cups.
