8 cups popped popcorn
2 cups pecan halves
1 cup whole unblanched almonds
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup

Directions

1

Heat oven to 250° F. Combine the popcorn, pecans, almonds, pumpkin seeds, chili powder, and cinnamon on 1 or 2 large baking sheets and place in the oven to warm through. Meanwhile, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a medium saucepan and heat to boiling. Without stirring, cook over medium-high heat about 10 minutes or until the syrup turns a rich brown and a few drops of it form stiff threads in a cup of cold water. Stir in the vanilla.
