Time 2h15m

Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup white sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
½ cup butter
¼ cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons salt
25 cups unsalted popped popcorn
3 cups roasted salted almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
  • Mix together the sugar, corn syrup, butter, cocoa powder, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat until the mixture is smooth and begins to simmer. Place the popcorn into a very large bowl, mix with the almonds, and then pour the chocolate syrup over the mixture. Stir until all the popcorn and almonds are coated. Spread the chocolate popcorn out onto several large baking sheets in a single layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until thoroughly dry, about 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes or so to dry all sides of the popped corn. Allow to cool on the sheet, then transfer into sealed containers.

Categories     Candy

Time 37m

Yield 75-100 balls

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (16 ounce) boxes confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 (14 ounce) package shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups chopped almonds
1 (12 ounce) package milk or 1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • With an electric mixer cream together sugar & butter in a bowl. Add milk until well blended. Stir in almond extract, coconut & nuts (you may omit the nuts if you do not like them). Roll the candy filling into one inch balls and place on waxed paper. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  • Using a double boiler melt chocolate until smooth (you may also melt chocolate in the microwave according to the directions on the chocolate). I like to add approximately 2 Tbls of butter or shortening in the chocolate but this is not necessary to do so. Dip the balls in chocolate and let stand at room temperature until set.
  • Store in a tightly sealed container and preferable in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
