This popcorn snack is similar to caramel flavored popcorn, but the addition of walnuts adds flavor and nutrients not found in traditional caramel popcorn. Walnuts are the only nut that contain a significant amount of omega-3 fatty acids; PLUS, walnuts were the first whole food to receive a health claim from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 quarts unsalted popped popcorn
1 cup chopped walnuts

Cream together butter and brown sugar till light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, toss popcorn and walnuts. Add creamed mixture to popcorn and nuts. Combine until coated.

Spread on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 350-degree oven for ten minutes or until crisp. Recipe yields 3 quarts Ballpark Popcorn Crunch.
