Indulge in a bowl of irresistibly sweet and crunchy caramel popcorn. This homemade treat will make movie nights extra special, and it's so simple to make!
Melt 1 tsp of coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2
Add popcorn kernels to the pot, ensuring an even layer, then cover with a lid.
3
Shake the pot occasionally as the popcorn begins to pop. Once popping slows down, remove from heat and let it sit covered for a minute before transferring popcorn to a large mixing bowl.
4
To make the caramel sauce, put white sugar and 2 teaspoons of water in a saucepan over medium heat. Do not stir, but gently swirl the pan occasionally until sugar dissolves and turns light brown.
5
Add half of the butter to the saucepan carefully, as it may sputter. Once the butter has melted, mix it in and reduce the heat to low.
6
Gradually add whole milk to the saucepan, stirring constantly until smooth and the sauce coats the back of a wooden spoon.
7
Allow caramel sauce to cool for a few minutes before drizzling it over popcorn in the mixing bowl.
8
Toss the popcorn to coat evenly with the caramel sauce.
9
Allow the caramel popcorn to cool in the refrigerator for an hour, then toss again to ensure a thorough coating. Serve and enjoy!
