caramel popcorn

 

the best way to eat popcorn is coating it in caramel!

i make up the amounts  of ingredients everytime accoring to how much popcorn i have to cover.

for about a 5litre ice cream tub of popcorn i usually use:

70-100gr margarine/butter

1-1.5 cups normal sugar (castor sugar speeds up the time)

2 tablespoons syrup

maybe a few splashes of milk

stir until its combined and simmer until all sugar has meltd

then bring to the boil and boil until it reaches the stage where when a small amount is dropped into cold water, it produces a sort of hard, not sticky thing, which can be rolled into a ball. eat it and if it sticks horribly to your teeth, let it boil for longer.

take off heat and stir into popcorn

i know its tempting but wait until the caramel is cold otherwise you will burn your mouth!

enjoy
