Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need:
- 1 cup popcorn kernels
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Directions
Before starting with the recipe, preheat your oven to 250°F. Then, follow these steps:
- Pop the popcorn kernels using your preferred method. Make sure that there are no unpopped kernels left. Once done, transfer the popcorn to a large bowl and set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add sugar and salt to the saucepan. Mix well until the sugar has dissolved. Keep stirring the mixture until it turns into a deep amber color. This should take around 7-8 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and add vanilla extract and baking soda. Stir well until the mixture is smooth.
- Spoon the toffee mixture over the popcorn and use a spatula to mix it well. Make sure that every kernel is coated with the toffee mixture.
- Transfer the coated popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread it in an even layer.
- Bake the popcorn in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, stir the popcorn and spread it in an even layer again. Bake for another 15 minutes. Repeat this process once more. In total, the popcorn should be baked for 45 minutes.
- Remove the popcorn from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Break it into small pieces and enjoy!
