16 steps

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cups Popcorn Kernels
  • 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil, If Popping Corn On The Stove
  • 1/4 cups Butter
  • 1 cup Sucanat Or Organic Cane Sugar
  • 1/4 cups Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 teaspoons Sea Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
  2. 2
    Air-pop the popcorn or cook it on the stove in a little coconut oil.
  3. 3
    If popping on the stove, melt coconut oil over medium heat, add popcorn and put the lid on.
  4. 4
    Move your pan around until all the kernels stop popping.
  5. 5
    Do not stop moving the pan around the burner, you dont want your popcorn to burn.
  6. 6
    Place popcorn into a 9x13 ungreased pan and set aside.
  7. 7
    In a heavy sauce pan over medium high heat, melt the butter.
  8. 8
    Add the sucanat (I ground mine into a fine powder in my coffee grinder so it would dissolve better, but it isnt absolutely necessary).
  9. 9
    Immediately stir in cream and salt and stir constantly while you bring it to a boil.
  10. 10
    As soon as it comes to a boil, continue to stir for 1 more minute.
  11. 11
    It is very important to not stop stirring.
  12. 12
    Pull off the burner and add the baking soda; keep stirring.
  13. 13
    The caramel mixture will foam up; this is normal and the reaction that you want.
  14. 14
    Immediately pour over popcorn and stir so that it is evenly coated.
  15. 15
    Bake for 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes.
  16. 16
    Enjoy!
