Chocolate Coated Caramel Corn with Cashews, Peanuts, and Coconut
With all the nuts, this mixture is very similar to that delicious Moose Munch that Harry and David sells. Except when I make it, I can add more nuts. And more chocolate. And coconut. It's also great with other nuts (macadamia nuts and almonds are tasty) and/or pretzels. You pretty much can't go wrong.
What you will need
5 bags plain popcorn, popped (this is about 20 cups of popcorn, so you can pop it any way you wish)
3 1/2 cups cashew halves, toasted
2 cups peanuts, toasted
1 cup unsweetened coconut, toasted
2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water, or more as necessary
3 tablespoons butter
1 vanilla bean, split
1/4 cup heavy cream
generous pinch of sea salt
30 ounces dark chocate, melted (or more as needed)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
