Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 cups popped popcorn
1 cup roasted salted almonds
1/2 cup stout beer
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup brown rice syrup or corn syrup
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped premium milk chocolate (6 oz)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300°F. Line two 15x10x1-inch pans with foil. Spray foil with cooking spray.
  • In large bowl, place popcorn and almonds; set aside.
  • In 2-quart saucepan, heat beer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 6 minutes. Pour into glass liquid measuring cup to confirm measure. Add back to saucepan. Stir in brown sugar, syrup and butter. Cook over medium heat until bubbly around edges, stirring occasionally.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low; cook about 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and syrupy. Remove from heat; carefully stir in salt. Pour over popcorn mix in bowl; toss until evenly coated. Spread popcorn mixture in pans.
  • Bake 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, to caramelize mixture. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Break into pieces; stir in chocolate. Store in airtight container.
