Homemade Moose Munch Food

HOMEMADE MOOSE MUNCH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F, and lightly grease a baking sheet.
• Place the popcorn in a large mixing bowl, along with the nuts.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
• Stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt.
• Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring.
• When the caramel comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and allow to simmer, stirring, for 3 minutes (or until the temperature is registers about 235 degrees F on a candy thermometer).
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla and baking soda (the mixture will foam up).
• Slowly drizzle the mixture over the popcorn, while stirring/tossing the popcorn to coat it with the hot caramel. (It might be easier if you have a kitchen helper. One can pour while the other stirs.)
• When the popcorn is well coated with caramel, spread it out in an even layer on a greased baking sheet.
• Bake for 1 hour.
• Allow to cool completely, then drizzle with melted white chocolate and melted dark chocolate.
• Let the chocolate set, then break the moose munch into chunks and package up in mason jars, paper boxes, or cello bags for gifting.
