Recipe below contains my modifications.
Ingredients:
8 cups popped popcorn (I used an air popper to prepare mine)
3.5 oz. pecans, roughly chopped and lightly toasted
6 T. unsalted butter
1 1/2 c. pure maple syrup
1/2 tsp. salt
Directions:
1. Line an 11" x 17" rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly oil foil. Set aside.
2. In a small pan over medium heat, melt the butter.
3. Stir in the maple syrup and salt. Place a candy thermometer to monitor temperature.
4. Let mixture cook WITHOUT stirring until temperature reaches 300°F. Note: when it first boils, you may have to turn the heat down slightly until it gets more syrupy and the volume comes down a bit.
5. Be patient, do not rush the mixture by going past medium heat. It took mine slightly more than a half hour to reach 300°F.
6. Once it does get to 300°F, remove from heat and pour over popcorn/pecan mixture. Using a silicone spatula, quickly stir to coat, then pour out onto prepared foil/baking sheet.
7. Let cool completely, then enjoy!
