Total Time: 30 minutes

Instructions:

1. Pop the Corn:

   • Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pot. Add 1/3 cup of dry corn kernels and cover the pot. Shake the pot occasionally to ensure the kernels pop evenly. Once the kernels are fully popped, set the popcorn aside.

2. Make the Caramel Sauce:

   • In a large pan, melt 5 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of corn syrup and 1 cup of sugar to the pan, stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue boiling until the caramel mixture turns a rich amber color.

3. Add Flavor and Texture:

   • Once the caramel has reached the desired color, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 tablespoon of salt, and 1/4 tablespoon of baking soda. The mixture will bubble up, so be careful.

4. Coat the Popcorn:

   • Pour the warm caramel sauce over the popped popcorn in a large bowl. Use a spatula to gently toss the popcorn and coat it evenly with the caramel mixture.

5. Cool and Set:

   • Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Spread the coated popcorn on a baking sheet in an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure the popcorn is evenly coated and crisped up.

6. Let it Cool:

   • Remove the caramel popcorn from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, break it into pieces.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve your homemade Salted Caramel Popcorn alongside a refreshing Cold Coffee Smoothie for a movie night treat that will impress everyone. Perfect for any occasion, this snack is a crowd-pleaser and can be stored for later enjoyment.
