Cooking Instructions

Step-By-Step Cooking Information and Guidance

Step 1

Preheat oven to 250ºF.

Step 2

Simmer the butter in a small pan over medium heat until browned, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the butter. Stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey and coffee.

Step 3

Toss the popcorn, hazelnuts, potato chips, and pretzels in a large roasting pan. Pour the brown butter mix over top and toss to coat.

Step 4

When the oven is up to temp bake for about 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes.

Step 5

While everything is baking, chop the spent vanilla pod very finely and mix into the Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt with your fingers, using the coarse salt crystals to crush and release the flavor from the bits of vanilla pod.

Step 6

Toss the hot popcorn mix with the vanilla salt and chocolate chips. Cool long enough so people don’t burn their fingers and serve it up!
