How to make Caramel Popcorn
Place a pan on the stove and add groundnut oil or butter.
Add the popcorn seeds to the pan and mix well. Cover the pan and let the popcorn pop, shaking the pan repeatedly to prevent burning.
Once popping is complete, wait a moment before opening the lid, then transfer the popcorn to a bowl.
In the same pan, add sugar and melt it, being careful not to burn it. Pour the melted sugar over the popcorn and mix quickly with a spatula before it hardens.

FAQS
What is the best way to store homemade caramel popcorn?
To keep your homemade caramel popcorn fresh and crunchy, store it in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating it, as moisture can make it soggy. Properly stored, it can last for up to a week.
Can I make caramel popcorn using coconut oil instead of groundnut oil or butter?
Yes, you can substitute coconut oil for groundnut oil or butter in this caramel popcorn recipe. Coconut oil will add a subtle coconut flavor, making it a delicious alternative for those who enjoy tropical tastes.
Is caramel popcorn suitable for vegans?
Traditional caramel popcorn is not vegan due to the use of butter. However, you can easily make a vegan version by using coconut oil or a plant-based butter substitute and ensuring that the sugar you use is vegan-friendly.

Caramel popcorn pairs wonderfully with a variety of snacks for a movie night. Consider serving it alongside salty snacks like pretzels or nuts to balance the sweetness. You can also enjoy it with a refreshing drink like iced tea or a classic soda.
How do I prevent my caramel popcorn from becoming sticky?
To prevent your caramel popcorn from becoming sticky, make sure to mix the popcorn with the melted sugar quickly and evenly. Additionally, allow the caramel to cool slightly before mixing, as this will help it coat the popcorn without becoming overly sticky.
