Candy Popcorn 

Konnichiwa! To all the aspiring chefs and food lovers. Have you ever tried candy popcorn? Want to make it at home? You are at the right place. Chef Miko is going to teach you to make candy popcorn at home in a jiffy. So grab your Toques, tie your aprons and let's get popping.

Ingredients

• 12 cups              Popped Popcorn
• 1 cup                  Unsalted Butter
• 2 cups                Brown Sugar
• 1/2 cup               Light Corn Syrup
• 1 tsp                   Salt
• 1/2 tsp                Baking Soda
• 1 tsp                   Vanilla Extract
• 3 cup                  Assorted candy

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Place the popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Allow it to boil without stirring for 4-5 minutes.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract. The mixture will bubble up, so be cautious.
4. Pour the hot caramel sauce over the popped popcorn in the mixing bowl, gently stirring to coat the popcorn evenly.
5. Spread the caramel-coated popcorn onto two large baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even coating.
7. Remove from the oven and let the popcorn cool completely. It will harden as it cools. Break the popcorn into clusters and mix in your choice of candy.
