STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

2

Melt 1 cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt into melted butter; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low, and simmer caramel sauce without stirring until slightly thickened (about 4 minutes). Remove from heat and mix in 1/3 cup coconut, peanuts, 2 tablespoons almonds, vanilla extract, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.

3

Heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil, 1 tablespoon butter, and vegetable oil together in a large pot over high heat. Add popcorn kernels and cover. Shake pot constantly over heat until all popcorn is popped (1 to 3 minutes).

4

Pour caramel sauce over the freshly popped popcorn and quickly stir to coat. Spread the caramel-coated popcorn evenly on prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle 1/3 cup coconut and remaining 2 tablespoons sliced almonds over the popcorn.

5

Bake popcorn in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

6

Broil popcorn until coconut and popcorn are lightly toasted (about 30 seconds).

7

Melt chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon coconut oil and shortening in a saucepan until fully blended and pourable. Pour the chocolate over the popcorn and sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup of coconut. Dust with confectioners' sugar for finishing.

8

Refrigerate popcorn on baking sheets for 45 minutes until completely cooled. Break into chunks and store in airtight containers.
