Description
The combination of sweet maple syrup and salty popcorn creates a tasty treat that’s sure to please everyone.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups popped popcorn
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup vegan margarine (earth balance)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- a pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium size pot add all of the ingredients. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pot making sure that the bottom of the thermometer is not touching the bottom of the pot! Bring the mixture to a light boil. Cook until the mixture has reached the hard ball stage (250-260 degrees F). If you do not have a candy thermometer you can put a drop of the mixture into ice water until it forms a soft ball… then it is ready.
- Caution: This mixture is very hot. Proceed with caution. Work quickly. Pour over the popcorn and stir quickly (it helps to have one person pour and the other stir), spread on a silicone baking mat in a rimmed baking tray, and bake at 275F until the popcorn is crispy (about 45-60 min), stirring every once in a while! Keep an eye on the popcorn, as you do not want it to burn. Enjoy!
