“And the Golden Popcorn Goes To…”- Vegan Caramel Popcorn with Dark Chocolate Drizzle and Almonds
All week I was trying to come up with a dish to make for the Oscar viewing party I was going to. I finally decided on making some delish caramel corn with chocolate drizzle. While I was scouring the internet for an easy way to make this favorite snack, I stumbled upon my friend’s blog, Papery and Cakery. Ali is a gifted Pastry Chef and shares her great recipes and cooking tips on her blog. So this week I have to thank her for giving me this great recipe (although I did end up making it vegan instead).
What You Need:
1 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Corn Syrup
1/4 Cup Water
7 Cups Air Popped Popcorn (I bought pre-made plain popcorn from Whole Foods)
1/2 Tsp. Baking Soda
1 Tbsp. Butter (or Earth Balance for the Vegan Version)
Melted Dark Chocolate (for the drizzle)
Nuts, Pretzels, or any other add-ins (optional)
1. In a large pot add the sugar, corn syrup and water. Cook until it starts to turn a golden color (do not stir)
2. Add in the baking soda and butter and the popcorn. Mix quickly and carefully. Pour in your nuts or any other add-ins. Then spread the popcorn onto a parchment/silpat lined baking sheet. Allow the popcorn to cool then drizzle with dark chocolate.
