I've been known to have a bit of a sweet tooth around my house. Fall time always reminds me of candy corn gingerbread and caramel corn. So today I just couldn't resist making my version of caramel corn. The smell makes this snack irresistible!
First, then the oven onto 250 degrees. Then add 1/4 cup vegetable oil to a medium head pan.
Then add in 1/2 cup of plain popping corn. Cover and wait for it to pop up!
Once it's all popped add to a deep baking tray or roasting pan.
Sprinkle with a little salt. Here you could really mix it up an add in some pretzel or nuts. Today I just decided I be plain Jane.
In the same pot you popped the corn, add two sticks of unsalted butter
And finally 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Mix it all together of medium heat until it comes to a boil. Stir constantly for about 10 minutes or until it starts to puff up and turn a amber color.
In a small bowl add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
And the star ingredient 1/2 teaspoon ginger! Whisk together until it makes a paste
Now add the paste into the caramel and give it a really good stir off the heat. This will make it really creamy!
Gently fold in and coat the popcorn with all the caramel. Place in the oven for 15 minutes
Take out of the oven and gently stir the popcorn again to coat more of the pieces that missed out. Place it back into the oven for an additional 15 minutes. When it's done give it a final stir and let it cool completely. Then you can enjoy your delicious treat!!
