Poppycock
Poppycock is easy and fun to make. Pack in fancy tins to give as a nice
gift. You can use whatever nuts you like (or even none if you don't like
nuts). You can also make Hawaiian poppycock by adding pineapple chunks
(well
drained) with the nuts.
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
16 cups popped popcorn
Nuts as desired
Mix brown sugar, butter and corn syrup together in a saucepan. Heat to
boiling and boil for 5 minutes.
Remove from head and add cream of tartar and baking soda. It will foam up.
Put the popcorn and nuts on a cookie sheet. Pour the sugar mixture over.
Bake at 300 degrees F. for about 20 minutes, stirring once.
Remove from the oven, cool, and break apart.
