Easy Caramel Popcorn (Homemade)
Recipe by
Trish yee
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!

POPCORN
Add 3 tbsp oil in a large wok, add in popcorn seeds and 2 cubes butter.

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.
- 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.
