Caramel Popcorn

You know something is going to be good when you get that sweet smell wafting from your kitchen.

 This afternoon was that day. 

The kids wanted popcorn. I called it. Caramel popcorn had to be made. 

It is so quick and easy and takes your pantry staples. It makes a great gift too prettied up with a ribbon!

Ingredients

air popped popcorn (about 8 cups)

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp bicarb soda

125g butter

Method

First up, pop your popcorn.

Add the butter to a pan and melt over medium heat, mix in salt and then sugar and stir. Leave to bubble but not boil for 3 to 5 minutes. Take off hear and stir in bicarb and vanilla. 

Pour over popcorn and mix well.

Place the caramel popcorn on a tray lined with baking paper and preheat the oven to 120deg. Bake for 15-30 mins checking for the crunch that you like!

Try not to eat it by the handful!

Enjoy!
