Gingerbread Popcorn from Tauni at SNAP {Christmas Tradition Series} |
Author: The Crafting Chicks
- 14 c. popcorn (sometimes I like a little bit lighter popcorn and will add one or two additional cups)
- ½ c. butter, cubed
- ¾ c. brown sugar
- ¼ c. corn syrup
- ¼ c. molasses
- ½ tsp. ground ginger
- ½ tsp. cinnamon
- ½ tsp. cloves
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¾ tsp. vanilla
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- Pop popcorn and place in a butter coated (I use butter spray) bowl.
- Prep two large cookie sheets with a light coat of baking spray.
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
- Melt butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, mollasses, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly for about five minutes. Your syrup should be dark amber-brown.
- Pull off heat and add vanilla and baking soda. Your caramel syrup should get very light and fluffy.
- Immediately pour the frothy mixture over the popcorn in the bowl, mixing it well.
- Transfer the popcorn to cookie sheets and place in the heated oven for 45 min. to an hour. Gently stir the popcorn every 10-15 minutes. If you can't keep an eye on it, the coating on the popcorn WILL burn. It's better to take it out early than leave it in too long.
- Store in an airtight container.
