Maple Pecan Pie Popcorn

Preheat oven to 250ºF.

In a small saucepan, cook syrup and brown sugar over medium heat, whisking frequently, for 5 minutes. Whisk in margarine and salt until slightly thickened, about 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Mix popcorn and nuts and spread on parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle maple mixture over popcorn and stir carefully to coat. Spread mixture evenly over baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.
