Caramel Popcorn

Vegan Caramel Popcorn: Crispy, Sweet, and Irresistible

Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons vegan butter (or margarine if you’re not making it vegan-friendly)
• ½ cup golden syrup
• 3 tablespoons coconut milk (or your choice of milk)
• 2 tablespoons smooth nut butter
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• A pinch of salt
• 2 bags Tony Ferguson Microwave Popcorn Lightly Salted

Directions

1. Prepare Microwave Popcorn: Remove plastic wrapping, unfold the bag, and place it face-down in the microwave centre. Microwave on high for 2-4 minutes, depending on your microwave wattage. Listen for popping to slow to 1-2 seconds between pops. Remove and let stand for 30 seconds. Open the bag carefully by pulling diagonally at the corners, being mindful of the hot steam.
2. Make the Caramel Sauce: Melt vegan butter or margarine in a saucepan until golden. Whisk in golden syrup, vanilla, and salt. Reduce heat, add nut butter, and stir until thick. Mix in coconut milk and baking soda; it will bubble. Whisk until smooth, then cool slightly.
3. Coat the Popcorn: Divide popcorn into two bowls. Drizzle with caramel, mixing gently to coat. Spread on a baking tray. Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes. Cool slightly on the tray for crispy results, then break into pieces and enjoy.
