12 cups popcorn, air popped if possible
8 oz. can whole cashews
2 sticks butter
1/2 c brown sugar
1 c white
1/2 c light Karo Syrup
1/2 tsp. salt
Pop popcorn and transfer from one bowl to another to get rid of hulls and old maids. This should be roughly 3/4 of a turkey roaster. THe rectangle enamel type is what I usually use to stir this in. Add cashews and toss. Mix butter, sugars, Karo syrup and heat until 190 degrees on a candy thermometer. Stir often as it will scorch if you don't. Remove from heat and add salt and 1 tsp, flavoring, such as vanilla, almond, rum, etc. Spread on waxed paper to cool. If you mix it a couple times it won't stick together quite so much. Then fill a beautiful Christmas Bowl with this and cover with Saran Wrap, ribbon and a bow. Deliver immediately while still fresh. This will make enough for (2) 6 cup bowls plus some extra for you!
