Honey Crackle Corn - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 quarts freshly popped corn
1 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Turn popped corn into a large, shallow roasting pan (I use a disposable aluminum roasting pan); sprinkle almonds over corn.
Melt butter or margarine in a 1-quart saucepan; stir in honey and brown sugar.
Cook, stirring, over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil; simmer without stirring for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla; pour mixture over popped corn and almonds and stir until well mixed.
Bake at 250 F for 1 hour, stirring well every 15 minutes.
remove from oven and continue stirring as mixture cools - this keeps the popcorn from clumping up and helps give the \"store-bought\" appearance.
Cool completely and store in a tightly covered container.
