Praline Butter-Pecan Crunch Popcorn
This sweet and crunchy popcorn is ideal for wrapping in coloured clear paper as a holiday gift. The popcorn and pecans are coated in a buttery honey and brown sugar syrup, then baked to a deep golden brown. The result is a deliciously crisp snack that can be stored for several days.

- Pour the hot syrup over the popcorn and nuts, mixing thoroughly to ensure an even coating.
