Salted Caramel Popcorn
Sweet and salty caramel popcorn that literally melts in mouth.
Ingredients
- 10 cup popped popcorn (~1/2 cup unpopped)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp sea salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F. Line a large baking sheet (or two medium sheets) with parchment paper or silicone mats, set aside.
- Add half of the popcorn to a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, and let it boil for about 3 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly whisk in the baking soda.
- Pour half of the caramel over the popcorn. Add the rest of the popcorn, then add the remaining caramel. Stir until the popcorn is evenly coated in the caramel. Transfer the popcorn to the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly to the edges. Sprinkle ½ tsp of sea salt on top.
- Bake for 50 minutes, taking the popcorn out every 10-15 minutes to stir. Allow caramel popcorn to cool for at least 5 minutes. Devour.
