Yield 20 kettle corn pops

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups popped popcorn
1 pound dry roasted peanuts
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup molasses
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 liter liquid nitrogen, optional

Steps:

  • Place the popcorn and peanuts in an insulated stainless steel mixing bowl.
  • Combine the sugar, molasses and vanilla in a 1-quart saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer. Bring to a boil and continue to boil until the mixture reaches 250 degrees F, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until incorporated. Add the baking soda and stir until well incorporated.
  • Pour the hot, finished mixture over the popcorn and peanuts and stir to incorporate.
  • Hand form twenty 3-ounce portions of the kettle corn onto the ends of 20 bamboo skewers and let cool.
  • Pour one half of the liquid nitrogen, if using, into the insulated, stainless steel bowl.
  • Holding the end of one of the skewers, dip the popcorn into the liquid nitrogen and hold it there for 5 seconds before lifting it out. Repeat with the remaining skewers.
