Easy Caramel Popcorn (Homemade)
Popcorn is a must for any movie nights and it is so cheap to just make them at home! I used to buy my caramel popcorns from garrett and it is really kinda expensive for a small bag of caramel popcorn. So, I started making my own at home. These popcorns can be kept for a days or a week. If you like the crunch, feel free to add in some chopped nuts too!
Equipment
- Lid
- Baking Paper
Ingredients
FOR THE POPCORN
- 100 g Popcorn Seeds
- 3 tbsp Oil
- 2 tbsp Butter
FOR THE CARAMEL
- 50 g Butter
- 80 g Water
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 300 g Sugar
- 20 g Corn Syrup
Instructions
POPCORN
- Add 3 tbsp oil in a large wok, add in popcorn seeds and 2 cubes butter.
- Cover with lid. Wait for 2-3 mins the popcorn will starts to pop. Shake the pot to ensure all the seeds are popped.
- Once popping stop, transfer popcorn to a large baking tray.
CARAMEL
- Add sugar, water and syrup/ honey to a saucepan.
- After the sugar has been dissolved and start to bubble, add in butter.
- Turn off heat and quickly add in 1 tsp baking soda, give it a quick stir and pour over the popcorn.
- Quickly stir in the caramel sauce to the popcorn and mix as evenly as possible.
- For more even coating, add popcorn to a the wok and over low heat, keep stirring the popcorn to melt the caramel for more even coating.
Notes
- Be extra carful when handling caramel as it can cause sugar burn
- Add in some chopped nuts i.e macadamia or cashew nuts for extra crunch. Make sure you toast the nuts before adding them to the popcorn.
