Candy Coated Popcorn

 

Homemade popcorn is so easy, you will not believe it! In this recipe, we used our English Toffee Super-Strength to flavor this buttery and rich popcorn.

RECIPE TIP: Use our 1-dram (.125 oz.) bottles for perfect measurement every time.

Ingredients

  • 4 quarts popped corn
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 dram (1 tsp.) LorAnn Super-Strength Flavor of choice
  • 3-5 drops LorAnn Liquid Food Coloring (as desired)

EQUIPMENT:

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 250º F. Spread popped popcorn on baking sheets lined with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. Combine sugar, corn syrup, butter, salt and cream of tartar in a medium saucepan. Clip on candy thermometer. Bring to boil, stirring constantly.
  3. Cook to 250°F without stirring. 
  4. Remove from heat. After boiling action ceases, add flavoring and color. Add baking soda and stir in quickly but thoroughly. Pour at once while foamy over warm popcorn; mix gently to coat popcorn.
  5. Bake popcorn for 30 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes to distribute candy coating. Remove from oven and stir again. Cool completely and store in airtight containers.

Wonderful and crunchy. We made with raspberry flavoring. Once it cooled, we also added chocolate chips. Like any sweet popcorn, it can get overwhelming after a while. Maybe we'll also add in some regular salt popcorn later to cut the sweetness. But we'll definitely make again. We wanted to try it after we had a delicious apple cider popcorn at Legoland, which was green apple popcorn mixed with red cinnamon popcorn. We may try that down the line too, but we already happened to have raspberry oil in the cupboard. We also look forward to mixing different color popcorn, like making red, white, and blue for the 4th of July. So fun.
