Today on The Stay At Home Chef I'm showing you how to make
Honey Roasted Caramel Corn
My mom is a huge caramel corn lover and when she tried my recipe
she was blown away. This caramel corn is so good and pretty simple to make.
To start I'm going to show you how to pop popcorn kernels on the stove. You'll need
You'll need a large pot with a lid.
Pour 1/2 cup of unpopped popcorn kernels into the bottom of a large pot
Then you're going to pour 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil into the
pot with the corn kernels.
Then cover the pot with a lid and heat over medium heat
The oil will heat up and our popcorn kernels will start to pop.
You could also use microwave popcorn. You'll need one bag
but you want to make sure that it's plain popcorn
Back to the stove you'll soon start to see your popcorn kernels
popping in the pan. You can see why it's important to have the lid on there
otherwise these would pop right out. up
The popping will eventually start to slow down.
Once it goes several seconds in between pops that means it's done and
you'll want to turn off the heat, then give it a second for any remaining
kernels that are going to pop.
Then you can remove the lid and you have freshly popped popcorn
Then spread your pop popcorn kernels out into a single layer on a baking sheet.
Well sort of a single layer, not really, We just want it to
spread out so that we can pour our caramel sauce that we're about to make on top.
Get 1/2 cup of salted butter melting in a saucepan over medium heat
You'll also need 1 cup of brown sugar 1/4 cup of honey and 1/2 teaspoon of salt
We're going to stir this together and bring it to a simmer
You want to let this simmer for 5 minutes over medium heat stirring constantly so it doesn't burn.
It'll bubble and foam and thicken up. After 5 minutes you'll want to turn
off the heat and add in 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda which will keep
your caramel nice and smooth and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir that in
We're going to drizzle this right over the top of our popcorn. Then I forgot to
sprinkle on 1 cup of honey roasted peanuts
Probably do this before with the popcorn. Either way it'll work though and you can
give this just a gentle toss to kind of spread things out a little bit.
Then we're gonna bake this in a 250 degree Fahrenheit oven for one whole hour
Every 15 minutes you'll want to pull your baking sheet out of the oven and give it a stir.
As you pull it out of the oven and stir eventually all of the popcorn
will take on this caramel coloring. Be sure to return it to the oven and
continue roasting for the entire hour. Once your caramel corn is done grab
another baking sheet and you'll line it with wax paper and this will keep the
caramel corn from sticking to the pan. Give your caramel corn one final stir
Then you'll transfer your caramel corn to the wax paper to cool. If there's any
large clumps you'll want to break those up otherwise once the caramel cools
these are stuck for good. You'll want to store this in an airtight container once
it's cooled but honestly you're probably gonna eat it all first.
