you can use air popped or microwave popcorn,preheat oven to 250,place popcorn & chopped pecans in a large bowl & set aside

combine brown sugar & cinnamon in a big microwaveable bowl

chop butter into chunks & place on top of sugar mixture, pour syrup or honey over top of everything, microwave for 30 sec.stir to combine

pour over popcorn & nuts stirring quickly or it will harden, spread onto foil lined pan & bake 30 min. stirring every 5 min

if it' not crunchy enough cook another 5 min, give a final stir & let cool,while you melt the almond bark

Thanks for the honey tip! Never sure if it'll work as a corn syrup sub. :) Sounds delicious!
