Caramel Popcorn

Crunchy popcorn coated in a brown sugar and butter caramel and dried in the oven. A sweet-salty snack to share on movie nights; high in fibre.

Ingredients

• 100 g popcorn (popped)
• 70 g (⅓ cup) brown sugar
• 30 g (2 tbsp) butter
• 2 g (a pinch) salt
• 1 g (¼ tsp) baking soda

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 120 °C and line a baking tray with baking paper. Put the popcorn in a large bowl and pick out any unpopped kernels.

2. 2

   Melt the butter, brown sugar and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring. Once it starts to boil, cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes.

3. 3

   Take the pan off the heat, add the baking soda and stir quickly; the caramel will foam and lighten.

4. 4

   Immediately pour the caramel over the popcorn and toss with a spatula until every piece is coated.

5. 5

   Spread the popcorn in a single layer on the tray and bake at 120 °C for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.

6. 6

   Cool completely on the tray, break up any clumps and store in an airtight container.
