Poppycock

I sampled Ruth's gift to Martha and was restricted to only two handfulls. I've got the recipe, now, and will no longer be limited to how much I can eat. Ha, ha, ho, ho, hee, hee!

This is DIVINE!! It really should be re-named Poppy Crack because it's so addicting. One bite and you're hooked for good. I took the advice of other reviewers and popped 2 regular sized bags of butter microwave popcorn. I slowly cooked the syrup to the boiling point, then added 1 & 1/2 cups of peanuts. I then poured 1/2 of the syrup over one bag-full of popcorn at a time, into a large bowl. This ensured all corn would be covered. Definitely spray your cookie sheets to prevent "stickage". I bagged up 12 individual-sized bags for gifts to teacher friends and we had enough left over to snack on at home. There were many smiles today at school because of this, Nimz! Thanks so much!

YUMMY, Yummy, Yummy, this is delicious. I used 2 packages of mircowave popcorn, then made as stated. Using almonds, peanuts, walnuts, and pecans as nuts of choice. I lined the cookie sheets with release foil, easy cleanup and the poppy cock didn't stick to it. I know that the GrandKids will love it. Thank you Dcmac for the recipe, this will be a regular at our house.

Tasted great! As many of the reviewers did, I used Vanilla extract instead of butter flavoring. I used whole pecans as the nuts.

As much as I loved the result, I think the recipe itself needs some reviewing. It doesn't specify what heat to cook the caramel on. Also, I found a 10-oz package of popcorn to be WAY too much. The recipe in its singular form will not coat that much popcorn.

I would suggest either doubling the caramel recipe, or halving the popcorn.

Thank you for sharing! A revise may help with future viewers' confusion!

Must add another glowing review! Let me tell you, I hate popcorn in any form, except I couldn't stop eating this! LOL I did make it dairy free by using 1/2 C coconut oil and 1/2 C Earth Balance and used vanilla instead of butter extract. I popped 1 C of kernels on the stove and added 2 C of peanuts. Addictive! Made for Fav's of 2009 tag.

This was tasty and easy. Update: Took this to the neighbors for our annual food swap and they all loved it. The only change I would make would be to use lots more nuts. I used pecans and peanuts

I said to DH "This is good huh?" and he said "Excellent!" It is a bit difficult to turn even though I made it in a jelly roll pan. I used convection oven at 200 degrees for an hour. I also subbed half smart balance butter in lieu of regular butter. This would be a great thing for a cookie exchange as it would be something different and this recipe makes quite a bit.

HELP!! Someone please stop me before I eat this whole pan!! Oh my goodness this is better than I ever expected when I started! I used buttered microwave popcorn and almonds & peanuts and followed the recipe exactly! This is TERRIFIC! Sorry this is short but I need to leave the house so I don't eat the whole blasted bowl!! Thanks (I think my hips won't) for posting it! So glad I tagged it in the Sweet Traditions Tag Event!

Plus a whole lot more. The only problem with this is not being able to stop munching on it. I used a regualr sized and two mini bags of microwave popcorn. I added pecans, slivered almonds and cashews. This was a HUGE hit . Definite keepr and going in my Divine recipes cookbook Made for Zaar Stars

Made a half batch of this last night. I LOVE poppycock! I used 2 qts fresh popped corn and 2 1/2 cups mixed nuts. I thought that the caramel mixture was JUST ENOUGH to cover this ammount. My advice would be start off at the low end of the popcorn, you can always add more, but you can't take away! I'm so glad that I now know the secret to crispy poppycock and popcorn balls is baking them!! I have to admit, I never would have known. The taste of this is dead on to REAL poppcock! The only reason I refrain from 5 stars is the ammount of corn -which would/could be to much if not careful. The other half of the jury is still out (sent some to work with BF) Will report back with any extra comments! Oh also, I used rum extract/a touch of vanilla and it was fine. AND GREASE YOUR SHEETS!Thank You Nimz! Keeper!

My husband and I don't like poppycock, but I was looking for a snack I could make to give out at Christmas and I found this recipe. Well after the first batch came out of the oven we tried it and were instantly hooked. The people in my office are calling it Poppy-crack because it's so addictive. Instead of adding butter flavoring I just used microwavable popcorn with butter flavor in it.

This is a wonderful and addictive snack!! I only made 1/4 of the recipe and didn't use the butter flavoring, as I didn't have any on hand. I took a portion for me to have and then put the rest in a ziplock bag. Bad part is that I keep going back and unzipping that bag!!! Thanks for sharing Nimz! Made for stars tag.

OMG! This is Super-Delicious! I think it's going to spoil my dinner :) I followed the directions exactly and added almonds and blanched peanuts. I didn't have anything to line the cookie sheets with and it did stick but I'll be ready next time! Fairly easy and very fun to make. Thanks Nimz!

The taste was wonderful, and I had to give a bunch away, so that I wouldn't eat it all. Alot of one batch got into a big popcorn ball which wasn't that fun to negotiate with. I'll be making it again when I have lots of people to help me eat it : )

WOW!!! This stuff should come with a warning label! I have not enjoyed popcorn so much in all my life! The popcorn was super crunchy, and the caramel type sauce was fantastic!!! We used our favorite mixed nuts, and enjoyed this treat very very much. We will certainly make it again and again, thank you so much for posting your recipe!

I used 2 (3.5 ounce) packages of microwave popcorn and about 2/3 of the caramel syrup. I think I could probably used a little less syrup and it still would have been great. I used salted peanuts so skipped the salt in the recipe. This was so good. But, a word of warning....be sure to remove any half-pops out of your popcorn, otherwise your teeth will be in for a very bad surprise if you bite into one! Update to say that I make this pretty often and it always disappears quickly.
