Take Two

Happy Tuesday to you! The past few days I've been battling a cold. I hate summer colds, they are the worst! I think its almost gone and I'm feeling better so I thought I'd share with you my second attempt at making caramel popcorn. After my first attempt I was determined to try it again. Although my oops turned out to be really tasty, I wanted to make what I intended to the first time! If at first you don't succeed, try, try again! Right?

So once again I popped my popcorn, poured it into a big bowl and made sure all the un-popped kernels were out. After that I started on the caramel part.

ingredients:

1 1/4 cup sugar

2 tbs. water

1/4 cup light corn syrup

1/2 tsp. salt

3 tbs. butter

And lucky you, I remembered to take pictures while I was making it.  : )

I cooked it just a little bit over medium heat. Swishing it around every once in a while. This time I didn't chicken out,  I let it get to a beautiful golden color. After that I removed it from the heat, stirred in the butter and poured it over the popcorn. And this time I added peanuts. I spread it out on a baking sheet and let cool a bit before I broke it up and put it in the bowl. It turned out great! 

 

 Let me tell you, this tasted just like Crunch n' Munch. Soo good!! Our oldest is having a last day of school camp out party tomorrow (yeah I know, they get out late up North) and I'll be making a couple batches for them to munch on. I am really happy that I tried it again and was told I need to make it ALL the time. Even Mr. CC who's not a big fan of popcorn requested I make it often. It's that good!
