How to Make Buttercrunch Popcorn
- Pop the popcorn kernels in a large pot or air popper. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Continue boiling for 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches 245°F (118°C) on a candy thermometer.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will foam up.
- Pour the melted butter mixture over the popped popcorn in a large bowl, stirring gently to coat.
- Add the butterscotch chips (or milk chocolate chips) and stir until melted and evenly distributed.
- Spread the popcorn in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Let the popcorn cool completely before breaking it apart. This allows it to set and crisp up
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
