Bourbon Caramel Popcorn



This bourbon caramel popcorn recipe combines the rich flavors of caramel with a hint of bourbon, creating a delightful treat that's perfect for snacking or sharing at parties.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions:

Set oven temperature to 250F 120C

Using your favorite popping technique, pop the popcorn kernels and reserve in a big mixing bowl

Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat

Melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar, bourbon, corn syrup, and salt

Until the mixture is smooth and starts to bubble, stir continuously

Simmer the mixture, uncovered, for four to five minutes

Take the saucepan off of the burner and whisk in the baking soda right away

Watch out because the mixture will start to bubble

After you've popped the popcorn, drizzle the caramel sauce over it and toss gently to coat every piece of popcorn

Arrange the coated popcorn onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet

Bake for 45 minutes in a preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes to make sure everything is evenly coated and not burned

When finished, take it out of the oven and allow it to cool fully before dividing into clusters

Present and savor!
