Cracker Mix

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Pop the Popcorn

    In a large pot, heat the duck fat over medium heat. Add the popcorn kernels and cover the pot. Shake occasionally until popping slows down. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Nut Mixture

    In a separate bowl, mix together the mixed nuts, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, salt, baking soda, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine and Bake

    Pour the nut mixture over the popped popcorn and gently toss until evenly coated. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool completely before breaking into pieces.
