Moose Munch Recipe
Here’s what you’ll need:
Caramel Corn (see recipe below)
1/2 bag (or more) mini marshmallows
1 bag milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup (or more) dry roasted or honey roasted peanuts
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
Caramel corn should be broken apart and spread out on cookie sheets.
Sprinkle mini marshmallows and nuts evenly over the popcorn.
In a glass container mix chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Heat in microwave for 1 minute intervals. Remove, stir and repeat until melted completely.
Use a spoon to drizzle melted chocolate over popcorn, marshmallows and nuts.
Allow to cool. (I put mine into the refrigerator for a few minutes).
Microwave Caramel Corn
Here’s what you’ll need:
3-4 quarts popped corn
1 stick of butter (no substitutes!)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup Karo Syrup
1 tsp baking soda – add last
Place stick of butter, brown sugar, salt and corn syrup into microwave safe glass bowl. Place in microwave and heat on high until it comes to a boil. Times will vary by microwave so you will want to watch it closely. Once it comes to a complete boil remove from microwave and stir.
Return to microwave and cook for 1 minute.
Remove, add baking soda and stir well. Mixture will thicken and lighten in color. Pour mixture over the popcorn inside the paper bag.
Fold the top of the paper bag down several times to close~ then shake, shake, shake!
(Go ahead, play some Zumba music here!)
Shake really well to distribute the caramel and coat all of the popcorn.
Place entire bag of popcorn back into the microwave and heat on high for another 1 1/2 minutes. Remove and shake some more. (Cue Zumba music again)
Once cooled you can pour the popcorn onto cookie sheets and break apart:
