A super fast caramel popcorn recipe that tastes great!

Ingredients

  • ½ c popping corn popped (makes a large bowlful)
  • ½ c sugar
  • ½ c butter
  • 1 pinch salt omit if using salted butter
  • 2 Tbsp Lyle's Golden Syrup see Notes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300ºF (150ºC)
  • Place the popped popcorn in a large bowl and set aside. Melt the butter with the remaining ingredients in a small pot over low heat. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 1 or 2 minutes.
  • Remove the syrup from the heat and immediately pour over the popcorn in the bowl.
  • Mix gently with two forks, then place onto a non-stick baking sheet.
  • Place tray in preheated oven for 5 minutes, remove and turn gently, then place in oven for another 5 minutes or so.
  • Remove from oven and let cool; break into pieces and enjoy!

Notes

  • Golden Syrup is a British corn syrup alternative which is incredibly delicious and less processed than corn syrup.
  • You may want to make a double batch because it goes quickly!
