Ingredients

  • 5 cups air popped popcorn
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup from Canada
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

  2. Place maple syrup, in a heavy-bottomed, non-reactive saucepot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and continue boiling until the mixture reaches 236 degrees on a candy thermometer.
