Game day, Super Bowl and the Grammy Awards will all be on television soon. Some of you may be lucky enough to attend one of these events live. In any case the majority of us will be watching them in the comfort of our homes. Whether we have family and friends joining us or watching it solo one things for sure, you’ll want to make this Caramelt Crunch popcorn to have at your side.
My family loves popcorn! Over the years I’ve enjoyed making it for everyone. From plain, to this Caramelt Crunch popcorn! There’s a place here in town that I frequent to get gourmet popcorn when the urge strikes – Poptions! However, I just went to grab their link – it said as of December 28th they were closing their doors. Now I’m sad 🙁
Each of us has our own favorite but mine has always been their Caramelt Crunch. Plain popcorn covered with a thick rich caramel, then drizzled with chocolate and crumbled toffee bits. Now doesn’t that sound delightful?
I picked a bag up a few weeks ago and thought, “I can make this!” So of course I started investigating recipes online and in cookbooks. Virtually all were about the same. Each recipe had brown sugar, butter, salt, and corn syrup. Some included vanilla, baking soda, and sweetened condensed milk.
So I decided to give it a go. In place of the corn syrup though I used Lyles Golden Syrup. The manufacturers of Lyles has always said this can be used interchangeably with corn syrup. Since the flavor is more pronounced and tasty on its own, in my opinion, I always opt for Lyles.
This recipe is so simple. Just be sure to use a deep saucepan, and have a couple of large sheet pans on hand when it comes to baking the coated popcorn. I recommend using silicone utensils when stirring for ease of clean-up but not essential.
So what are you waiting for? The games are on all weekend, with Super Bowl next month, and the Grammy Awards tomorrow evening! Any questions – just shoot me an email at Vicki@VickiBensinger.com. Please tag your photos #vickibensinger on Instagram if you make my Caramelt Crunch Popcorn!
