Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2
In a large pot, add the olive oil and corn kernels. Place over medium heat and cover with a tight lid. The kernels will start popping after a few minutes. Once popping slows, check to make sure most of the kernels have popped, then place the lid back on and remove from heat.
- Step 3
While the popcorn is popping, make the caramel. In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, heavy cream, and 1 tbsp salt.
- Step 4
Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Continue boiling until it reaches 250 degrees F. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
- Step 5
Remove two heaping cups of the popcorn and set aside. Spread the rest of the popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet. Pour the caramel on top and use a rubber spatula or your hands to gently mix until evenly coated.
- Step 6
Spread the popcorn back into an even layer, then bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
- Step 7
Once the popcorn comes out of the oven, mix in the reserved plain popcorn and ½ tablespoon salt.
- Step 8
Allow to set for about 15 minutes, then break apart & enjoy!
