Ready to dive into the ultimate snack time classic? Let’s make some buttery, salty popcorn that’ll have you forgetting all about those microwave bags in no time.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Heat the oil: In a large pot with a lid, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes until it shimmers.
2. Test a kernel: Drop in a single popcorn kernel. When it pops, you know the oil is ready.
3. Add the rest: Pour in 1/2 cup popcorn kernels, cover with the lid, and give the pot a little shake to coat them in oil.
4. Listen closely: As the kernels start popping, keep the pot moving occasionally to prevent burning. The popping will slow to about 2 seconds between pops when it’s done.
5. Melt the butter: While the popcorn pops, melt 3 tbsp unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
6. Season and serve: Drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp fine sea salt, and toss to coat evenly.

• 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Pop the corn: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the popcorn kernels, cover with a lid, and shake occasionally until the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops. Remove from heat and let sit for a minute to catch any late poppers.
2. Make the caramel: In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Cook over medium heat without stirring until the mixture turns a deep amber color, about 10 minutes. Tip: Swirl the pan gently if you see sugar crystals forming on the sides.
3. Butter it up: Carefully add the butter and sea salt to the caramel, stirring until the butter is completely melted. The mixture will bubble up, so stand back!
4. Add the magic: Remove the caramel from heat and quickly stir in the baking soda. This will make the caramel light and airy, perfect for coating the popcorn.
5. Coat the popcorn: Pour the caramel over the popped corn, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until all the kernels are evenly coated. Tip: Work quickly here, as the caramel sets fast.
6. Spread and sprinkle: Spread the coated popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with a little extra sea salt while still warm for that perfect salty-sweet contrast.
7. Cool and break: Let the popcorn cool completely, then break into clusters. Tip: If you’re impatient, popping it in the fridge for 10 minutes will speed up the process.

This caramel popcorn is outrageously crunchy with a buttery, toffee-like flavor that’s balanced by the sea salt. Try serving it in little paper cones at your next movie night for a fun, shareable treat.
