How to Make Easy Sweet And Spicy Kettle Corn
- **Prepare the Spice Mix:** In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Mix well and set aside.
- **Pop the Corn:** Prepare one bag of your favorite microwave popcorn according to package directions.
- **Make the Caramel:** In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 5 tablespoons (60g) granulated sugar and 1/4 cup (60ml) water. Cook, without stirring, until the sugar dissolves and turns a light amber color (about 5-7 minutes).
- **Add Butter:** Carefully remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter until melted and smooth.
- **Combine & Coat:** Place the popped popcorn in a large bowl. Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the popcorn. Sprinkle the spice mix generously over the caramel-coated popcorn.
- **Toss & Cool:** Gently toss the popcorn until it's evenly coated with the caramel and spices. Spread the popcorn in a single layer on a baking sheet to cool completely. This prevents the caramel from sticking together.
