Ingredients
½
cup
popcorn kernels
¼
cup
butter
½
cup
brown sugar
½
teaspoon
salt
½
teaspoon
vanilla extract
Instructions
Pop the popcorn kernels using your preferred method and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the brown sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture becomes a smooth syrup.
Pour the sweet syrup over the popcorn and gently toss to coat all the kernels evenly.
Spread the coated popcorn on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let it cool for a few minutes to allow the syrup to harden slightly.
Once cooled, break the sweet and salty popcorn into pieces and serve.
Notes
Use air-popped popcorn for a healthier option.
Melt the butter and brown sugar together to create a smooth, sweet syrup.
Don't forget to evenly distribute the seasonings to ensure every bite is flavorful.
Experiment with different seasonings like cinnamon or a dash of cayenne for a unique twist.
Store in an airtight container to keep your sweet and salty popcorn fresh and crispy.
