Gingerbread Popcorn from Tauni at SNAP {Christmas Tradition Series}
Author: The Crafting Chicks
Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
  1. Pop popcorn and place in a butter coated (I use butter spray) bowl.
  2. Prep two large cookie sheets with a light coat of baking spray.
  3. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
  4. 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.
  5. Pull off heat and add vanilla and baking soda. Your caramel syrup should get very light and fluffy.
  6. Immediately pour the frothy mixture over the popcorn in the bowl, mixing it well.
  7. 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.
  8. Store in an airtight container.
