Caramel Popcorn
This caramel corn has a buttery toffee flavour.
See our variation to turn this into yummy
popcorn balls.
Makes about ten cups (2.5 L)
2
teaspoons (10 ml) vegetable or
grapeseed oil
1
⁄
3
cup (75 ml) popping kernels
4
tablespoons (60 ml) unsalted butter
½
cup (125 ml) packed light brown
sugar
2½
tablespoons (40 ml) light corn syrup
1½
tablespoons (25 ml) water
¼
teaspoon (1 ml) kosher salt
½
teaspoon (2 ml) baking soda
1. Evenly distribute the 1 tablespoon (15 ml)
of oil on the popping plate of the Popcorn
Maker. Add the popcorn kernels. Put the
inverted bowl on top of the popping plate.
Turn the power switch to ON.
2. When the kernels have finished popping,
turn power switch to OFF. Put bowl cap on
bowl. Unlock and turn bowl over onto a flat
surface. Remove the base from the bowl.
3. While the corn is popping, put the butter,
brown sugar, corn syrup, water and salt
into a small, heavy-bottom saucepan. Stir
to break up the brown sugar and set over
medium-high heat to bring mixture to a boil.
4. Watch the caramel mixture on the stove
closely. Using a candy thermometer, monitor
the temperature of the caramel. It should be
between 240°F and 260°F (115°C and 126°C),
not exceeding 260°F (126°C). Once it is
boiling and turning golden brown, about 6 to
8 minutes, it should start to thicken slightly.
5. Once the caramel is thick and has reached
the proper temperature, carefully whisk in
the baking soda.
6. Drizzle the caramel sauce on top of the
popped corn and mix* to fully coat. Sprinkle
with salt and serve immediately.
* To make whisking and stirring easier, lightly
coat the whisk and spatula with nonstick
cooking spray to prevent the caramel and
popcorn from sticking to the tools.
Note:
Stir in 1 cup (250 ml) of mixed nuts to
the caramel corn for another great version of
this delicious snack!
Variation:
This popcorn recipe also makes
delicious popcorn balls. Line a tray or pan
with aluminum foil. Lightly coat the foil and
a one-cup (250 ml) measure with nonstick
cooking spray. Lightly rub some of the spray
on your hands as well. Using the oiled
measuring cup, scoop out 1 cup (250 ml)
of the caramel corn at a time and form into
balls; put onto the oiled foil. Repeat with
remaining popcorn – recipe should yield
about 8 to 10 popcorn balls. If not serving
immediately, wrap in waxed paper.
