Time 40m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup cream of coconut (not coconut milk)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup popcorn, popped
1 cup coconut, toasted
1/2 cup cashews
1/2 cup dried pineapple
1/2 cup dried banana pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
  • First pop the 1/2 cup unpopped corn kernels, then set aside.
  • In a heavy saucepan, put the butter, corn syrup, cream of coconut, and brown sugar. Boil over moderate heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Combine the popcorn, coconut, dates, dried pineapples and dried banana chips in a large plastic bowl sprayed with non-stick spray. (That works best-the plastic bowl, as the syrup will not stick to the sides if you spray it first, making it easier to combine the ingredients.).
  • Stir to mix and pour onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 30 minutes.
