A Healthier Caramel Corn
- 1/2 cups Popcorn Kernels
- 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil, If Popping Corn On The Stove
- 1/4 cups Butter
- 1 cup Sucanat Or Organic Cane Sugar
- 1/4 cups Heavy Cream
- 1/4 teaspoons Sea Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
- Air-pop the popcorn or cook it on the stove in a little coconut oil.
- If popping on the stove, melt coconut oil over medium heat, add popcorn and put the lid on.
- Move your pan around until all the kernels stop popping.
- Do not stop moving the pan around the burner, you dont want your popcorn to burn.
- Place popcorn into a 9x13 ungreased pan and set aside.
- In a heavy sauce pan over medium high heat, melt the butter.
- Add the sucanat (I ground mine into a fine powder in my coffee grinder so it would dissolve better, but it isnt absolutely necessary).
- Immediately stir in cream and salt and stir constantly while you bring it to a boil.
- As soon as it comes to a boil, continue to stir for 1 more minute.
- It is very important to not stop stirring.
- Pull off the burner and add the baking soda; keep stirring.
- The caramel mixture will foam up; this is normal and the reaction that you want.
- Immediately pour over popcorn and stir so that it is evenly coated.
- Bake for 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes.
- Enjoy!
