Hawaiian Style Poppycock

 

2 quarts popcorn

2 cups macadamia nuts

1 cup butter or margarine

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1-1/2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

In a buttered 5-quart container, combine popcorn and nuts. In a saucepan, combine butter, syrup, and sugar. Boil until mixture reaches 300 F on a candy thermometer. Stir in vanilla; immediately pour over popcorn, stirring lightly until mixture is evenly coated. Spread on a large sheet of foil and, using two forks, immediately separate mixture into smaller pieces. Cool and store in an airtight container. Makes about 2-1/2 quarts.
