Directions:
Heat oven to 250 deg. Combine the popcorn, pecans, almonds, pumpkin seeds, chili powder and cinnamon on 1 or 2 large baking sheets and place in the oven to warm through.

Meanwhile, combine the sugar, corn syrup and butter in a medium saucepan and heat to boiling. Without stirring, cook over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes or until the syrup turns a rich brown and a few drops of it form stiff threads in a cup of cold water. Stir in the vanilla.

Remove baking sheet from oven and pour the syrup over the popcorn. Toss quickly with a spoon. Cool and break into pieces.

Personal Notes:
