Instructions

Popcorn

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and hold aside.

Step 2

Heat oil in a pot large enough to hold the 8 cups of popcorn once popped or use a popcorn maker and, per manufacturer instructions, pop the corn. If using a conventional pot, heat oil with popcorn kernels over medium heat, shaking pot occasionally, until the first kernel pops. Cover pot, reduce heat to medium-low and, shaking pot occasionally, allow corn to pop until popping stops, for 2-3 minutes. Hold popcorn aside in a bowl large enough to toss with Domino® Honey Granules, peanuts, and bacon.

Step 3

To create the honey glaze: In a small saucepot, heat water over medium heat until hot. Stir in Domino® Honey Granules until it dissolves and the mixture becomes a syrup. Stir in butter and Domino® Light Brown Sugar. Heat, stirring, until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat and gently boil 2 minutes then remove from heat and stir in vanilla and baking soda. Mixture will foam briefly.

Step 4

Quickly pour mixture over popcorn, add peanuts and bacon bits and toss until well-blended.

Step 5

Turn mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes to set the glaze.

Step 6

Optional: Sprinkle flaked sea salt over the popcorn while warm

Chopped Candied Bacon Bits

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment then place a grate on top of the parchment.

Step 2

Place strips on the grate and bake for 20 minutes, bacon should still be soft.

Step 3

Brush bacon with honey syrup then sprinkle with pepper. Return bacon to oven to crisp for 5-7 minutes. When cool enough to handle, chop bacon and hold aside.

Chef's Tip
