I grew up in a house where popcorn was a staple.
Watching a movie? Let's have some popcorn.
Friends are spending the night? Let's have some popcorn.
Don't feel like fixing dinner? Let's have some popcorn!
And now, I have the same popcorn values. I usually stick to the butter and salted variety. But occasionally, I opt for caramel popcorn.
You really must try this recipe. It's gooey. And sticky. And delicious!
Caramel Popcorn
1/2 stick butter
2/3 c. brown sugar
4 T. maple syrup
1 pinch baking soda
Stir first 3 ingredients on the stove until they reach 210 degrees. Remove from heat and add baking soda. Stir and pour over popped popcorn. Not microwave popcorn. I'm talking about on the stove. Get out the oil. And the kernels. Your family will be so impressed with your skills!
