So for the second cab off the rank I thought I would kill two birds with one stone....Popcorn and Caramel! A double whammy! Both featured on the list of popular sweet crazes this year and really there was no surprises there. Carmel was listed specifically as 'salted caramel', not a new flavour, but definitely a popular one. And as for popcorn, well you've probably heard me yabber on about popcorn a million times this year, especially when it comes to popcorn bars. So Mr Meko and I decided to experiment a little in the kitchen last night and came up with a popcorn flavour that you may in fact develop some sort of addiction to (take that as our official warning, we've been eating it all day!). Next time you're in for a movie night, definitely give this one a try!
Snickers Popcorn
You'll need:
1/2 cup popcorn kernels
250g unsalted butter
500g brown sugar
2 tbsp water
12 x fun size Snickers
salt flakes to taste
Pop your corn kernels as per instructions on the pack and scatter on to a baking tray.
Preheat your oven to 90c.
Make caramel by combining butter, water and brown sugar in a pot over a medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mix begins to boil, thicken and is rising to 3/4 of the height of the pot.
Pour over your popcorn and toss gently to cover all the pieces. Bake in the oven for 30 mins, giving the tray a good shake and a toss every 10 mins.
Chop the snickers roughly into pieces and scatter on top of your popcorn and return to the oven for a further 10 mins until melted. Once melted, stir to combine and season with salt flakes to taste.
Serve warm or at room temp....either way be prepared to be taken to a happy place!
