Serves:
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Pop the popcorn kernels using your preferred method and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
-
In a saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
-
Once boiling, continue stirring for 4-5 minutes or until the mixture turns a light golden brown color.
-
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract. The mixture will foam up.
-
Immediately pour the caramel sauce over the popcorn in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to quickly and gently toss the popcorn until evenly coated in the caramel sauce.
-
Spread the coated popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out into an even layer.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool completely. The caramel corn will harden as it cools.
-
Once cooled, break the caramel corn into smaller pieces and enjoy!
