Sweet Popcorn Recipes

SWEET POPCORN

Steps:

• Melt the vegetable oil and butter in a large saucepan or casserole over a low-medium heat. Stir to combine.
• Add the popping corn and spread it out with your spoon to form a layer over the bottom of the pan. Place the lid on the pan and turn up to medium-high.
• After a minute or so you will hear the corn kernels start to pop inside the pan. The pops will start coming thick and fast for about 3-4 minutes. When they slow down to 3-5 second intervals your popcorn is ready.
• Turn off the heat but leave the lid on for a couple of minutes (there's usually a few kernels that will pop after this point, so leaving the lid on for a few minutes stops them flying around your kitchen).
• Leave to cool slightly for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle in the sugar and stir to combine. Divide into bowls and serve.

• Pour the caramel over the popcorn in the pan and stir immediately to coat the popcorn, being careful not to touch the hot caramel. Carefully transfer onto the lined baking tray and press down with the back of a spoon to spread evenly. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then break apart and eat.
