Caramel Popcorn Recipes Caramel popcorn is a tasty treat anyone will be willing to munch on no matter the time of the day. It is sweet and salty at the same time – the perfect blend of flavors. It is a great snack when watching movies with the family or as a holiday treat. Furthermore, making them at home can be a delight to many people so they can eat these poppers anytime they want. It is very easy and takes only a few minutes and you can already start nibbling on this delicious snack. Additionally, you only need a few supplies to start creating your own caramel popcorn. Ingredients for Caramel Popcorn I saw a lot of caramel popcorn recipes online and have tried a few of them. Unfortunately, some of them gave undesirable results and some were edible, but not exactly the caramel popcorn I wanted. I revised the best recipe I found online and came up with my own proportions to get the right amount of saltiness and sweetness that I like. Here are the ingredients you will need to create the best homemade caramel popcorn:
¾ cup of unpopped popcorn kernels 1 cup of brown sugar Half a cup of glucose or corn syrup Half a cup of margarine or butter Half a teaspoon of iodized salt Half a teaspoon of baking powder/soda Half a teaspoon of vanilla extract Optional ingredients: nuts and other toppings you want to add
Equipment Needed Many people think that the recipe for homemade caramel popcorn will require the use of machines to pop the popcorn kernels – similar to the machine used in movie houses. However, I do recognize that not all of us have the capability to afford such machine and not all of us will have the space to accommodate it. Therefore, in my recipe of caramel popcorn, the only equipment we will use are: mixing bowl, sauce pan/pot, and a wooden spoon for mixing. Procedure Because we will not be using any complicated popper machine to make our caramel popcorn, the procedure will be quite labor intensive. Nonetheless, the end product will be very rewarding.
