Salted Caramel Vanilla Coffee Popcorn - Real Recipes from Mums

You can make this delicious popcorn in under 20 minutes and enjoy while watching your favourite movie late at night. It can keep for 3 days.

Ingredients (serves 4)

1 Cup Popped Corn (in butter or olive oil)
1 Cup Brown sugar loosely packed
2 Tbsp Water
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
1/4 tsp Coffee extract
Pinch of Sea salt

Method

Pre-heat oven to 160 degrees. Follow the instructions on the packet on how to pop the corn. Once popped lay out on 2 baking sheets lined with baking paper.
Add brown sugar, pinch of sea salt and water to a small saucepan, stir until sugar is dissolved and let it come to the boiling point, add vanilla and coffee extract, stir and turn off heat immediately. Let cool for 2 minutes.
Being careful, use a large spoon to drizzle syrup evenly on popcorn. Bake in centre shelf of oven for 10 minutes. Let them cool on rack for 5 minutes or cool enough to handle by hand, break up the lumps. Enjoy!

Notes

Have you noticed how expensive the so-called gourmet popcorns are nowadays? Either they are too salty or not to your taste. This is the answer - easy, quick and low cost to make, and best of all you know what's in it (no chemicals). Adjust the level of sweetness or saltiness as you like. The vanilla coffee flavour can be changed to anything you fancy.

Um no way. I love salted popcorn and I love my coffee separately. This doesn’t sound very tempting to me. I’ll pass thanks all the same

Always looking for different ways to change the flavour of pop corn. Hate the butter ones. This looks interesting,

  Please, do. You will make it faster than I am.
  I don’t have a popcorn maker or a microwave oven, so I pop my corns in a large pot.
  Bottom line: we have the control of the fat, sugar and the spices; and we save a lot of money instead of buying the packaged gourmet popcorn

  Thank you for sharing my recipe
  We’ve taken a batch to the Openair Cinema on St Kilda Beach a couple of nights ago, I reckon we had the best homemade popcorn to go with the late night outdoor movie.
