    Servings and Ingredients

    Ingredients
    Serves 8
    QuantityIngredientAdd
    3 tbsp. Hy-Vee canola oil
    ⅓ c. Hy-Vee white popcorn kernels
    3 tbsp. Hy-Vee granulated sugar
    ½ tsp. Hy-Vee salt
    8 oz. white almond bark
    ½ c. Hy-Vee yellow cake mix
    ½ c. Hy-Vee pecan pieces

    Directions

    1. In a 4-quart saucepan, heat canola oil over medium-high heat.
    2. Put a few popcorn kernels into the oil and cover pan. When the kernels begin to pop, add remaining popcorn kernels, spreading them out evenly in pan, and sprinkle with sugar.
    3. Cover pan and continue to cook, lifting the lid open a few times to let steam release. Shake pot about every 20 seconds to prevent sugar from burning. When the popping begins to slow down to a few seconds between each pop, remove pan from heat and pour in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt.
    4. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt almond bark according to package directions. Stir in yellow cake mix and pour mixture over popcorn. Add pecans and toss with wooden spoon until all the almond bark and pecans are mixed in. Spread popcorn on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to cool.
