1 cup water
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon orange extract
1 1/2 cups instant white rice
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups popcorn
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
In a medium saucepan, bring water, sugar, vanilla, butter, sugar, orange extract, rice and eggs to a boil. Mix together and allow to heat through.
In a small bowl, mix together popcorn and walnuts. Stir the peanut oil into the rice, adding just enough to coat. Spread the mixture into a portion of the serving dish.
Bake in a 375 degree F (190 degree C) oven for approximately 30 minutes, until cooked through and served warm.
