Amount | Ingredient |
---|---|
12 cups | popped JOLLY TIME® Healthy Pop® 94% Fat Free Microwave Pop Corn |
1/4 cup | dried cherries |
1/4 cup | dried apricot halves, cut into strips |
1/2 cup | sliced banana |
1/2 cup | sugar |
2 tsp | butter or margarine |
1/2 tsp | ground cinnamon |
1/2 tsp | vanilla extract |
1/2 cup | toasted wheat germ |
Directions
Place popped popcorn in a large bowl; removing any unpopped kernels. Add cherries and apricots; toss. Set aside. In a small food processor or blender, combine banana, sugar, butter and cinnamon; process until smooth. Transfer to a deep 1-quart microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, stirring every minute or until mixture turns a cocoa brown color and thickens to a medium-thick syrup consistency. Stir in vanilla. Pour over popcorn mixture, mixing well to coat. Sprinkle with wheat germ and stir to coat. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper, spray paper with non-stick cooking spray. Turn popcorn mixture onto prepared waxed paper; refrigerate at least 30 minutes (to reduce stickiness). Store in a tightly-covered container in the refrigerator. Helpful Hint: Banana mixture may be finely mashed using a fork, if a food processor/blender is not available.
