Ingredients
- 8 cups popped popcorn (plain, air-popped)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.33 cup powdered erythritol (sugar alternative)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
Directions
Step 1
Prepare your popcorn by air-popping plain kernels until you have 8 cups of popcorn. Spread the popcorn out on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper to ensure even coating later.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once fully melted, add the powdered erythritol and stir continuously until the mixture is well combined and begins to slightly bubble. This should take 2–3 minutes.
Step 4
Once bubbling, remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract, sea salt, and baking soda. The mixture will foam slightly—this is normal and helps coat the popcorn.
Step 5
Immediately pour the toffee mixture over the prepared popcorn. Using a spatula, gently toss and mix to ensure all popcorn is evenly coated.
Step 6
Bake the coated popcorn in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through to prevent clumping.
Step 7
Remove the popcorn from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The toffee will harden as it cools, giving you a satisfying crunch.
Step 8
Once cool, break apart any clumps, transfer the toffee popcorn to a serving bowl, and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
