Ingredients for 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
  • Non-stick Pan
  • 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. Cook on low heat, shaking the pot occasionally until all kernels have popped, then pour them into a bowl, salt them, and let them cool completely.

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

  • As soon as the sugar and water start to melt, increase the heat a bit (it should be quite high at this stage), add the previously prepared popcorn to the pan, and stir continuously for 5 minutes with a steel spoon 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 (which you can place on a baking tray or a wooden cutting board), let them cool completely.

  • Once the caramel popcorn is completely cool, mix them with a spoon or your hands, and you’ll see they won’t stick together and will separate individually, and there you go, now they’re ready to be enjoyed!

  • The tricks to ensure that once cooked, the caramel popcorn isn’t soft but crunchy are twofold: 1 let them cool completely after the first “cooking” (and before the second), and 2 once caramelized and placed on parchment paper, don’t touch them until they are completely cool.
