Gourmet Caramel Pecan Popcorn
Some snacks are hard to stop eating, and this is one of them. Our caramel pecan popcorn starts with corn popped fresh in our own commercial kitchen, coated in a homemade buttery caramel cooked in small batches, then loaded with praline pecans from the orchard just outside our door. The new recipe carries more pecans than it used to, which is the change our customers asked for most and the one we were happiest to make.
It comes in a 1-gallon gift pail holding 1-1/2 pounds, and it is gluten free.
What Makes Our Caramel Pecan Popcorn Different
Most gourmet popcorn leans on the caramel and treats the nuts as an afterthought. We do it the other way around. We grow the pecans, shell them, and praline them ourselves in San Saba, Texas, so the nut is the star and the caramel is there to carry it. Fresh pecans have a buttery, almost sweet character on their own, and when they are pralined and folded into warm caramel corn, that flavor comes through instead of getting buried under sugar. If you tend to gravitate toward a pecan salted caramel profile, this hits the same notes, with the salt coming naturally from the butter in the caramel rather than a heavy finishing sprinkle.
A Gift Pail of Caramel Pecans and Popcorn People Actually Finish
The gallon pail was designed with giving in mind. It travels well, it looks handsome on a desk or a kitchen counter, and it holds enough for a family, an office, or a long car ride. Our customers reach for it constantly during the holidays, but it works just as well as:
- A client or customer thank-you that does not feel like corporate filler
- A host gift when you are invited to dinner and want to bring something Southern and a little different
- A teacher, neighbor, or mail carrier gift at Christmas
- A movie night, tailgate, or road trip snack that beats anything from a gas station
- A gift for the person who has everything, since almost nobody turns down caramel pecans and popcorn
If you would rather have a smaller format or need to ship several at once, the same recipe is available in a bag as well.
Small Batch Caramel Pecan Treats From a Family Orchard
Our family has been growing pecans in San Saba since 1888, when our great-great-grandfather E.E. Risien planted the orchard that helped earn this town the title of Pecan Capital of the World. Six generations later, we still handle everything ourselves: harvesting, shelling, roasting, candy making, packaging, and shipping. That is unusual in this business, and it is the reason we can put pecans this fresh into a confection. Pecans are the only major tree nut native to North America, and they carry roughly 20 vitamins and minerals, though we will be honest with you, this particular pail is squarely in the treat category.
