"This Nebraska-based company grows a special kind of yellow mushroom popcorn that pops into fluffy round shapes for all its brands of candy-coated popcorn - Fiddle Faddle, Screaming Yellow Zonkers, and Poppycock - but plain microwave popcorn is all you'll need to make an easy clone. The Poppycock motto is "Its our amazing glaze!" and it is pretty amazing. The butter-toffee glaze is flavored with maple syrup, and each box is packed with lots of nuts, unlike any other glazed popcorn brands out there. Clone the Poppycock flavor you prefer: All cashews, all pecans, or a combination of almonds and pecans. Of course, you can mix in any nuts you like, salted or unsalted, as long as it comes to two cups worth for example, macadamia nuts is an awesome variation. You really need a candy thermometer for this recipe to get it just right, but you can also estimate temperature by drizzling some of the candy syrup into a glass of cold water once you see it begin to darken. If the candy forms brittle threads, its ready. You coat the popcorn with the glaze by heating everything up in the microwave and stirring. There is also a technique using your oven see Tidbits, but the microwave method is faster.  Source: "Top Secret Recipes Unlocked" by Todd Wilbur...."
