ALMOND ROCA GOURMET POPCORN

Steps:

• Place popped popcorn in a large roasting pan that has been sprayed with a non-stick spray and set aside.
• In saucepan on low heat mix sugars, butter, salt, and corn syrup. Let mixture come to a soft boil and place lid on pan for 30 seconds. Remove lid and stir with clean spoon. This is done so all sugar and salt crystals are dissolved and none get back in the mixture. Turn heat down and let boil gently with out a lid for 5 minutes stirring constantly.
• When 5 minutes are up remove from heat and stir in baking soda. Syrup will foam but this is normal. Stir until baking soda is completely dissolved. Add butter flavoring and stir. Pour over popcorn slowly stirring popcorn constantly, coating all the popcorn gently. When popcorn is coated, pour almonds in and stir well. Place in a preheated oven at 225 degrees for 1 hour. Popcorn needs to be stirred and mixed through every 15 minutes. When popcorn is finished baking pour onto a non-stick service and let cool.

ALMOND BARK POPCORN

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Put 4 popcorn kernels into the oil and cover until popped; add remaining kernels to the saucepan in an even layer. Cover and remove from heat, about 30 seconds. Return to heat and gently shake pan back and forth over the burner until popping slows to several seconds between pops, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Spread popcorn out onto a few sheets of waxed paper.
• Place almond bark in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until bark is melted, about 5 minutes.
• Drizzle the melted almond bark over the popcorn; mix to coat evenly. Let bark dry, about 30 minutes.

CANDIED ALMOND BARK POPCORN

• Place almond bark in a saucepan and melt over medium-low heat, stirring constantly so it does not burn on the bottom, about 8 minutes. Pour melted almond bark over popcorn and stir to coat evenly. Pour out onto a baking sheet to cool.
