Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ Cup Popcorn kernels
  • 6 tablespoon Salted caramel sauce

Instructions
 

Prepare the Popcorn:

  • Pop ⅓ cup of popcorn kernels using your preferred method (stovetop, hot air popcorn machine, or microwave). This should yield approximately 10 cups of popcorn.
    I like to use the hot air popcorn machine, which has a measuring cup of exactly ⅓ Cup, so always easy to remember.
  • Ensure the popcorn is free of unpropped kernels and place it on a large baking tray covered with parchment paper.

Combine Popcorn and Caramel:

  • Drizzle the salted caramel sauce evenly over the popcorn. Use a spatula or your hands to gently toss the popcorn, ensuring that the kernels are well-coated.
    Make sure the vegan salted caramel sauce is at room temperature. If it was stored in the fridge, warm it slightly in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. This makes it easier to drizzle over the popcorn.

Bake for Crispiness

  • Preheat your oven to 100 °C (212 °F)
  • Bake the popcorn for one hour, stirring every 20 minutes to ensure even coating and prevent burning.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. The popcorn will become crispy as it cools.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Once cooled, break any large clusters into smaller pieces.
  • Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

Store the popcorn in an airtight container to maintain freshness. If it loses its crispness, you can re-crisp it by baking it again for a few minutes.
This vegan salted caramel popcorn is perfect for movie nights and game day snacks (Pair with other finger foods and appetizers for a crunchy, sweet, and salty snack during sports events), picnics  and Outdoor Events (Pack in airtight containers for easy transport), or even as a dessert topping (Sprinkle over dairy-free ice cream or yogurt for added texture and flavor).
Enjoy this delicious and addictive Vegan Salted Caramel Popcorn!
