Equipment
- 1 pot
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda a key ingredient that helps the caramel mixture to foam and expand, resulting in a lighter and airier texture for the caramel coating, creating a delicate and crisp finish on the popcorn.
- 6 tablespoons of light brown sugar a sweet and caramelized sugar that provides a deep and molasses-like flavor to the caramel, ensuring a robust and complex sweetness that complements the popcorn beautifully.
- 4 tablespoons of butter a classic and decadent ingredient that adds a rich and creamy flavor to the caramel, enhancing its velvety texture and contributing to the overall richness and depth of the caramel coating.
- 24 Werther's Original soft caramels rich and creamy caramel candies that melt easily, delivering a smooth and buttery sweetness to the popcorn, creating a delectable caramel coating that brings a luscious and indulgent taste to each bite.
- 1/2 cup of mushroom popcorn kernels unique and distinct in shape, these kernels are specifically chosen for their larger size and round shape, allowing them to pop into fluffy and mushroom-like popcorn pieces that are perfect for coating with caramel.
- 2 tablespoons of coconut oil a tropical and fragrant oil that provides a subtle yet delightful coconut aroma to the popcorn, adding a hint of sweetness and enhancing the overall flavor profile.
Instructions
- First, line a baking sheet and parchment paper and set it aside. You will need it to spread the popcorn kernels on it in an even layer.
- In a small saucepan, heat the coconut oil. Once the oil is melted and hot, add the Werther’s Original caramels to the pan and stir until they are melted.
- Add in the butter, stirring until it has melted. Then add the light brown sugar and baking soda, stirring until all ingredients are combined.
- Once the caramel mixture is ready, pour it over the popcorn kernels and spread them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool.
Notes
- For extra crunch, add some finely chopped pecans or almonds to the popcorn when baking.
- To make sure the caramel coats the popcorn evenly and adheres nicely, use a rubber spatula for stirring after adding the caramel mixture.
- If you’d like to sweeten your Werther’s popcorn even more, drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled popcorn before serving.
