Salted Caramel Popcorn

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

Week #4 Lesson

This week the kids learned how to make a healthy version of a taco as well as how to make it gluten free. We used gluten free corn tortillas for some of the bites. The kids were able to use a pastor brush and brush both sides of their tortilla with grapeseed oil. We had fun using a cookie cutter and cutting tortilla circles.

Week #3 Lesson



We truly enjoyed making crepes. The kids leaned what kind of texture the batter should be. They were taught the batter is almost like a pancake batter except that when you makes crepes, the batter is very thin. Some kids added bananas to their crepe.
