White Chocolate Turtle Popcorn

Ingredients:

60 grinds of Baker’s Secret Spice Blend
2 Tbsp. Salted Caramel Sugar
10 oz. White chocolate wafers (not white chocolate chips)
3 cups of mini pretzels
6 cups of popped naturally flavored popcorn
1 ½ cups honey roasted peanuts
Parchment paper for drying

Directions:

Melt the white chocolate wafers slowly in a double boiler over low heat, about 10-15 minutes. Break the pretzels into smaller pieces, lightly crushed. Pop your popcorn and pour the popcorn into a large bowl. Make sure you do not have any un-popped kernels. Add the peanuts and the pretzel pieces. Add the Baker’s Secret Spice Blend to the melted chocolate. Pour the melted chocolate over the popcorn mixture; use a spoon or your fingers to mix thoroughly. Lay the popcorn mixture in a 9×13 pan lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with the salted caramel sugar. Chill for 30 minutes and enjoy. Makes about 10 servings.

You can purchase salted caramel sugar from SpiceandTea.com or from KingArthur.com. The Baker’s Secret Spice blend can also be purchased from SpiceandTea.com. Baker’s Secret Spice Blend is a mixture containing cocoa nibs, vanilla turbinado sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.

This simple white chocolate turtle popcorn mixture makes a perfect gift to give over the Christmas season. Who wouldn’t appreciate such a tasty treat? I know I would.
