Directions
-
Step 1
Place popcorn in a large bowl that has been sprayed with PAM® High Yield Canola Cooking Spray. Sprinkle with sea salt. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
-
Step 2
Combine sugar, butter and water in a medium non-stick saucepan. Cook, stirring, over medium-low heat until sugar is dissolved. Increase heat and continue cooking and stirring until sugar mixture turns golden brown; it will go from thick to more fluid at this point. Quickly stir in walnuts, fresh cayenne and ground cayenne peppers.

Step 3
Pour over popcorn and toss with a greased spoon or spatula to coat evenly. Turn onto parchment-lined sheet. Allow to cool and sprinkle lightly with kosher salt. Break into clusters.
