Cómo preparar Homemade Caramel Popcorn
- Pop 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels (following package directions) and set aside. Add 1 cup of salted peanuts to the popped popcorn.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted margarine, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a rolling boil. Continue boiling for 3-5 minutes, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 245°F (118°C) on a candy thermometer (firm-ball stage).
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. The mixture will foam up.
- Carefully pour the caramel sauce over the popcorn and peanuts. Stir gently but thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated.
- Spread the caramel popcorn in a large, lightly greased baking pan or cake pans. Bake at 250°F (120°C) for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even caramel distribution.
