CARAMEL APPLE POPCORN
Ingredients
12–14 cups freshly popped popcorn
12 oz caramel apple lollipops (about 18–20), crushed
½ cup unsalted butter
¼ cup light corn syrup
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
Let’s make some magic!
Preheat oven to 250°F. Spread your popcorn into a large heat-safe bowl, removing any unpopped kernels.
Crush the lollipops and remove the sticks.
Melt the candy with butter, corn syrup, and salt over medium-low heat, stirring until smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda. Watch that caramel apple mixture foam!
Immediately pour over the popcorn and toss quickly to coat.
Spread onto 2 sprayed baking sheets. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
Cool completely, break apart, and TRY not to eat the entire batch!
THE SECRET TO THAT PERFECT CRUNCH: A little butter, corn syrup, and baking soda transform melted hard candy into a light, crispy coating instead of a rock-hard shell.
Sweet caramel apple flavor. A little salty balance. A whole lot of crunch.
