Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 10-12 cups popped popcorn (, I used Skinny Pop)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (, cut into pieces )
- 1 cup light brown sugar (, packed )
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
Instruction
- Lay a piece of wax or parchment paper on the counter or on a baking sheet. Place popped popcorn in a large bowl.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup 1 minute. Stir and cook 2 additional minutes for chewy popcorn balls. If you like crunchy popcorn balls, cook 1 minute more. Stir in vanilla and baking soda.
- Pour caramel over popcorn and stir until well coated. Let cool slightly.
- Grease hands with butter (or use wax paper or gloves) and shape the popcorn into 2-inch balls. Wrap each ball with plastic wrap or store in a zip-top bag or an airtight container up to 2 weeks.
