Salted Caramel Popcorn- Week 1

Salted Caramel Popcorn

3/4 cup of popcorn kernels

Start by popping the kernels (either air popped, microwaved in a lunch sized paper bag or a pot on the stove top). We simply used the stovetop and pot. Once popcorn has popped, place the popcorn on a large jelly roll pan or cake pan. Spray with nonstick cooking spray if you are NOT using a Silpat.
Sprinkle popcorn with 1tsp of sea salt.

In a pot, melt:
1/2 cup of butter

Add: 

1 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup of light corn syrup
1/2 tsp salt 

Stirring all to combine, bring to a boil without stirring for about 4 minutes.

Remove from heat and add:
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp vanilla


Pour hot caramel over the popcorn stirring well to coat. Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Remove, cool and break into pieces. 

Cook Tip: We wanted extra coated caramel popcorn, so we doubled the caramel recipe; however it is not necessary. :) 

Lots of Happy Campers!!! Enjoy
