Ingredients

• 1 cup Popcorn kernels
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 quarter cup Corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda

Directions

Step 1

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the popcorn kernels and cover the pot with a lid.

Step 2

Shake the pot occasionally to ensure even popping, and let the popcorn pop until you hear the popping slow to about 2 seconds between pops. Remove the pot from heat and transfer the popped popcorn to a large bowl. Discard any unpopped kernels.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.

Step 4

Once boiling, let the caramel cook for about 3-4 minutes without stirring. Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will bubble up, so be cautious.

Step 5

Immediately pour the hot caramel over the popped popcorn in the bowl. Use a heat-resistant spatula or wooden spoon to gently toss the popcorn, ensuring that it is evenly coated with the caramel.

Step 6

Let the sticky popcorn cool for about 10-15 minutes. The caramel will harden slightly as it cools, leaving the popcorn sticky but manageable.

Step 7

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
