Here’s an enhanced version of the recipe for Omgosh! Soft Caramel Popcorn:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 12 cups popped popcorn (about 1/2 cup unpopped kernels)
Procedure:
- Prepare Popcorn:
- Pop the popcorn using your preferred method, whether it’s air-popped or stove-popped. Remove any un-popped kernels and set the popped popcorn aside in a large mixing bowl.
- Make the Caramel Sauce:
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and sweetened condensed milk.
- Heat on Medium:
- Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Stir continuously to ensure the ingredients combine well.
- Melt and Combine:
- Allow the mixture to melt and come to a gentle boil. Continue stirring to prevent burning or sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Optional: Add Vanilla and Salt:
- If desired, add vanilla extract for extra flavor and salt to balance the sweetness. Stir well to incorporate these ingredients into the caramel.
- Monitor Consistency:
- Keep a close eye on the mixture, ensuring it doesn’t overcook. The caramel should become smooth and slightly thickened.
- Remove from Heat:
- Once the caramel has reached a smooth consistency, remove the saucepan from heat.
- Pour Over Popcorn:
- Immediately pour the warm caramel sauce over the popped popcorn in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold and coat the popcorn evenly with the caramel.
- Cool and Enjoy:
- Allow the caramel-coated popcorn to cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the caramel to set slightly. Break apart any large clumps and enjoy your delicious Omgosh! Soft Caramel Popcorn.
- Store:
- Store any leftover caramel popcorn in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
