Ingredients for the easy and delicious caramel popcorn

  • 1/4 cup Popcorn kernels
  • 4 tablespoons Sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Water
  • 1 pinch Fine salt
  • 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil

Useful tools for making caramel popcorn

  • Kitchen Scale
  • Pan – non-stick
  • Spoon
  • Bowl
  • Pot

Preparation

  • First, make the popcorn the classic way. In a pot, pour 1 tablespoon of oil, add the popcorn kernels, and cover with the lid. Cook over low heat, shaking the pot from time to time until all the kernels have popped, then pour them into a bowl, salt them, and let them cool completely.

  • In a non-stick pan, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water, then place it over low heat.

  • Once you see the sugar and water beginning to melt, increase the heat a bit (it should be nice and high at this stage) and add the popcorn (previously prepared) to the pan. Stir continuously for 5 minutes with the steel spoon, ensuring to coat all the popcorn with caramel.

  • After 5 minutes, the caramel popcorn will be ready. Remove them from the heat and pour them onto a sheet of parchment paper (you can place the sheet either in a baking tray or on a wooden board), and let them cool completely.

  • Once the caramel popcorn is completely cool, mix them with a spoon or with your hands. You’ll see they won’t stick together, and they will separate one from another, and voilà, now they are ready to be enjoyed!
