Cinnabun Popcorn

This was featured at Witney's babyshower, everyone raved about it!! Yeah, it's that fantastic!
12 cups popped popcorn (about 1/2 cup kernels)
1 cup nuts (I used cashews)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup Karo Syrup
a pinch of salt
1 stick of real butter (I used salted butter)
1 tea. vanilla
1 tea. cinnamon
1/2 tea baking soda
vanilla flavored Almond Bark

Preheat oven to 250 degrees
Pick out any unpopped kernals. Place popcorn an nuts in a large bowl, set aside. In microwave safe bowl, measure your brown sugar, and throw in a pinch of salt. Chop butter into chunks and place on top of the sugar mixture. Pour Karo Syrup over the top of everything. Microwave on high for 30 seconds and then stir to combine. Return to microwave and heat for 2 minutes more. Remove and stir and then return to microwave for 2 minutes more, until hot and bubbly.

The butter will combine well with ingredients by now.

Remove from the microwave and add in vanilla, cinnamon, and baking soda. Stir to combine. The mixture will foam and rise. Pour caramel mixture over popcorn and nuts and stir very well, until everything is well coated.

Spread popcorn mixture onto well greased cookie sheet(s). Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes stirring every 5 minutes....if you want slightly chewy. Bake 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes...if you want your popcorn crunchy.

Melt your Almond Bark (about 4 oz), and drizzle over popcorn. Let cool, until chocolate has set. Break into chunks and enjoy.
