ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup popcorn, popped (about 16 cups popped)
- 1 cup salted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1⁄3 cup light corn syrup
- 1 1⁄2 - 2 teaspoons kosher salt or 1 1/2-2 teaspoons sea salt, divided
directions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pour the popped popcorn into a large serving bowl; set aside. In a small saucepan melt together the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and 1 teaspoon of the salt over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for 4 minutes without stirring.
- Pour the caramel mixture over the popcorn and toss the popcorn to coat it evenly. Pour the popcorn into the lined pan, sprinkle the remaining salt on top (1/2 to 1 teaspoon, depending on your personal taste preference) and place the pan in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
- Allow the popcorn to cool on a parchment paper-lined counter.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
