Holy crap, this is good stuff. And easy to make, too! Thanks, Our Best Bites for this awesome recipe.
I don't think you can do anything bad to popcorn. If I could have only one snack for the rest of my life, it would certainly be popcorn. It can be savory, or sweet, spicy or salty. I'm one of those people who buys the vat of popcorn at the theater and eat the entire tub. Then I go and get my free refill, so I can eat it at home over the next week. Does it get stale? Sure. But it's still popcorn, so I still eat it.
You could do so much with this basic recipe. You could chop up peanut butter cups in place of the walnuts or pecans, and add peanuts, or add nutmeg and ginger and crumbled gingersnaps for a gingerbread kind of flavor...if you want ideas, just check out Moose Munch at Harry and David for flavor ideas. Our Best Bites also has a peppermint bark version which is sure to please. Use the base sugar/butter/syrup recipe, add desired spices, and the possibilites are endless.
We stuck with the basics of the recipe: cinnamon, white chocolate, and some semi-sweet chocolate drizzle. We used walnuts in place of pecans, because that's what we had on hand.
