If you’re looking for a snack that’s a little bit sweet, a little bit salty, and definitely crunchy, why not caramel popcorn? Sure, you can buy a tin of it, but why not make your own? You’ll know what goes into it, and let’s face it: food always tastes better homemade.
The recipe is surprisingly easy, if just a little time consuming. It’s a matter of popping the popcorn, making some caramel sauce, combining, and then baking. Using maple syrup instead of corn syrup really enhances the flavor of this delicious snack without completely overpowering it. Adding in some nuts gives some variety to the texture. Finally, just a little extra salt transforms this popcorn into decadent clusters of salted caramel. If you want to eat this as individual kernels of popcorn, let the popcorn cool out of the oven separate, but if you want to eat and serve it more like clusters, press the popcorn together with buttered hands right after baking and before it cools.
