Инструкции
- 1. For either recipe, combine sugar, butter, corn syrup, water and salt in a large saucepan over medium heat. You're going to bring the candy to 265-275 degrees, or possibly what is known as the hard ball stage. For this it's best to use a candy thermometer. If you do not have one, do not worry. Drip the candy into a small glass of cool water. If the candy forms a very hard, yet slightly pliable ball, bingo, you're there. Watch your mix closely so which it doesn't boil over.
- 2. While candy cooks, pop both bags of popcorn and spread about 2 qts or possibly 1 1/3 bags of popcorn (plus almonds for Fiddle Faddle) on one large or possibly two small cookie sheets. Put the popcorn in your oven set on its lowest temperature. This will keep the popcorn warm so which the candy will coat better.
- 3. When your candy has reached the hard ball stage, add in the vanilla.
- 4. Pull the popcorn from the oven and, working quickly, pour the candy over the popcorn in thin streams. Mix the popcorn so which each kernel is coated with candy, put the popcorn back into the oven for five more min, then stir once again. This will help to coat each kernel. You can repeat this step once more if necessary to get all of the popcorn coated. Pour popcorn onto a large sheet of wax paper to cold. Spread the popcorn out, but be careful...it's warm.
- 5. When popcorn is cold, break it up and immediately put it into a tightly sealed container, such as Tupperware. This will ensure which it stays fresh.
- This stuff gets stale very quickly in moist climates if left out.
- Makes about 4 qts.
- Notes from the Author [Tod Wilbur]: I know the most popular candy corn out there is Cracker Jack, but my favorite has always been Screaming Yellow Zonkers and Fiddle Fiddle from Lincoln Snacks Company. Fiddle Faddle is butter toffee-coated popcorn with almonds thrown in. Screaming Yellow Zonkers (you gotta love the name) is similar, but without the almonds. The secret to the yellow coloring of the
