Caramel Popcorn
Hi, I’m Hannah, and Laureen is basically one of my “aunties”. I married her son’s childhood best friend and she has recruited me to contribute a guest blog post. With the Christmas season in full swing, it seemed appropriate to share a holiday legacy that has been passed down for 3 generations and is always a hit… Caramel Popcorn. Aside from being dangerously addictive, this recipe is simple and great for even non-bakers. It also makes a great, inexpensive gift for friends or coworkers – just put it in Christmas themed cellophane bags, tie a bow around the bag, and voila! a delicious, easy gift for a lot of people!

When making this recipe it is important that the mixture foams up after adding the baking soda. It will lighten to a creamy caramel colour.

  • 1 cup popping corn

  • 1/2 cup white corn syrup
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Pop the popping corn kernels and set aside in a large bowl(s). (It’s a lot of popcorn, so this may need to be done in batches depending what you use to pop the corn).

  • Remove from heat and stir in baking soda until it foams up significantly.
  • Add vanilla and stir. 
  • Pour the mixture over the popped corn in the large bowl and stir to combine until evenly coated.
