caramel popcorn recipe

Caramel popcorn recipe easy to make without corn syrup.I love caramel popcorn since my childhood days as my mother used to buy me a pack of these whenever we pass by the popcorn shop.After I started to try homemade popcorn, I never look back buying them outside as the kids are fully satisfied with it.I often make it for their snackbox or for our movie time at home 🙂

After trying out popcorn recipes at home, I wanted to try caramel popcorn but I was a bit hesitant as making caramel is always a nightmare to me.But yes finally I tried it last week and came out perfect..yayy!!

Ingredients

For making popcorn:

  • 1/4 cup corn kernels
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla essence
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 1/8 cup water

Instructions

  • Take a sauce pan, add sugar and water.
  • Add butter.Let it melt and boil.
  • It will become frothy and slightly change color. Do not mix, do not use spoon.Just swirl the pan and cook in low flame.
  • Add vanilla essence. It will become more frothy and the color changes from light shade to dark color.
  • When it forms a thick sauce and is dark golden in color switch off and immediately add it to popcorn. Do not burn, this is the correct stage.
  • Mix it , it will form thick threads, don't worry keep mixing. It will be sticky, transfer to a foil or baking sheet.Allow it for 5 mins then separate the chunks.Cool down then store.

Notes

  • While making the sauce, DO NOT MIX,DO NOT USE SPOON.
  • Be careful while pouring the sauce to popcorn.
  • Make sure not to burn the sauce, when it turns to golden brown switch and immediately add it else it will harden then you can;t mix it.
  • You can even use 1/2 cup sugar for a more sweeter version.But I feel this is perfect.Usually the ratio is 1:2(corn kernels:sugar).
