Forget rock-hard caramel popcorn that you have to cook with a candy thermometer. This simple recipe is easy and the popcorn is gooey, soft and indulgent. I make it often for my kids when they have friends over. We eat it in small bowls with spoons and big glasses of milk!
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup popcorn kernels, air-popped*
*Remove any un-popped kernels and place popped corn into a big bowl. Mix butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until boiling. Stir and cook at a gentle boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Pour over plain air-popped popcorn and mix well. Serves about 6.
Brooke told me about this blog... and I'm not sure if she posts recipes. If so, is this the yummy stuff you make???
ReplyDeleteI made this for a game night with a couple of other couples. It was a hit. I didn't even get a chance to eat any because it was all gone so fast!!
