Poppycock Popcorn Variety Pack, Original, Pecan, Cashew, 7 oz, 3 Pack

Poppycock is a glazed popcorn and nut confection, and it sits a step above ordinary caramel corn. Popped kernels and whole nuts are bound with a rich buttery candy glaze into hard, brittle clusters you break apart rather than scoop. This variety pack holds three 7 oz bags, one each of Original, Pecan and Cashew, so a household can settle its own argument about which nut belongs in the mix.

The recipe dates to the middle of the last century, and for decades most people met it in December, in a canister or gift tin on a relative's coffee table. The bagged format makes it easy to keep the same treat around the rest of the year.

Put a bowl out during a party, tuck a bag into a gift basket next to coffee or preserves, or keep one in a desk drawer for the late afternoon stretch. The clusters travel well on road trips and hold their shape if you are portioning them into cups as favors.
