Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

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

02

Step
2 mins

Combine popcorn and cashews in a large roasting pan.

03

Step
7 mins

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

04

Step
2 mins

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

05

Step
1 hrs

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. Form into balls while still warm, if desired.

For a deeper caramel flavor, use dark brown sugar.
Be careful when working with hot caramel, as it can cause severe burns.
Store the cooled caramel corn in an airtight container to maintain its crispness.

    The caramel was a little too sticky for me. Next time, I'll try cooking it to a slightly higher temperature.

    I used salted cashews instead of unsalted, and it added a nice savory element.
