Caramel Popcorn

Caramel Popcorn

Friday roast beef can be too often the dish in our world. This time of year there seems to be thousands of ribs I see being served with these happy, hot, red morsels of flavors. Granted, some might find this do-it-yourself recipe a little unusual.

But, so is being a Mom. Filling the paper basket are these molten, lumpy churros with caramel popcorn filling.


I was given recipe for jellied popcorn from a friend. At that time, I loved macaroons and bars, so this idea too good to be true. I made a few batches and it came out great. I made this candy-like stuffing for the cinnamon sugar bag, and the whole process was so simple that you’re sure to not miss the box.


I know it sounds hard. But, get creative! I love the way the soggy popcorn turns caramel when it is browned.

Ingredients

1/2 cup popcorn kernels
2 tbsp oil
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
1/4 tsp soda bicarbonate
1/4 tsp vanilla

Directions

STEP 1
In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, heat oil over a low heat.

STEP 2
Add popcorn kernels and wait for 1-2 popcorn kernels pop which might take a few minutes.

STEP 3
Once the kernels pop, cover the pan and give the pan a little shake to distribute the kernels evenly.

STEP 4
Continue cooking until the popping sound slows down.

STEP 5
Remove the pan from heat and pour the pop corn in a large bowl and put aside.

STEP 6
In the same pan, melt butter over a medium heat.

STEP 7
Add sugar and stir continuously until well combined and dissolved.

STEP 8
When it starts boiling, add in soda bicarbonate along with vanilla and salt and mix well.

STEP 9
Pour the pop corn over the caramel mixture and gently fold the popcorn into the caramel.

STEP 10
Place the caramel popcorn in a large bowl and serve and enjoy!

Notes


Don’t cook pop corn on a high heat.
Don’t make caramel on a very high heat, otherwise caramel will get stiff.
