Enjoy this recipe for Salted Caramel Popcorn, which is the ideal balance of sweet and salty. This homemade treat will be a hit whether you're having a movie night or are just in the mood for a filling snack!
Ingredients: 1/2 cup popcorn kernels. 1 cup granulated sugar. 6 tablespoons unsalted butter. 1/4 cup light corn syrup. 1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for sprinkling.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 250F 120C. Pop the popcorn kernels using your preferred method and place them in a large mixing bowl, removing any unpopped kernels. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and corn syrup over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture starts to boil. Once boiling, let the mixture cook without stirring for about 4-5 minutes, until it reaches a golden caramel color. Remove the caramel from heat and carefully stir in the teaspoon of sea salt. Pour the caramel over the popcorn in the mixing bowl, tossing gently to coat the popcorn evenly. Spread the coated popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and sprinkle with additional sea salt to taste. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even coating and prevent burning. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool completely before breaking into pieces. Enjoy your delicious Salted Caramel Popcorn!
