CHEESE AND CARAMEL POPCORN
Steps:
- For the cheese popcorn: Toss the popcorn with the melted butter in a large bowl until evenly coated.
- In a separate bowl, combine the Cheddar powder, mustard powder and white pepper. Fold the mixture into the popcorn in two additions and toss until evenly coated.
- For the caramel popcorn: Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Evenly spread the popcorn out on the baking sheet. Combine the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and corn syrup in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepot fitted with a candy thermometer (see Cook's Note). Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently with a heatproof rubber spatula; be careful: the caramel will bubble up a few inches as it cooks. Cook until the caramel reaches 248 to 250 degrees F (firm ball stage). Immediately turn off the heat and carefully stir in the salt and baking soda; the caramel will bubble up again when you add the baking soda.
- Spray a second heatproof rubber spatula with cooking spray. Immediately, and very carefully, pour the caramel evenly over the popcorn. With the greased spatula, carefully fold the caramel into the popcorn to coat; not every kernel will be completely coated, but the caramel will be evenly distributed. Break up any large chunks with the spatula. Set aside to cool completely, at least 15 minutes.
- To serve: Combine the two popcorns together, breaking up any remaining large chunks of the caramel popcorn if necessary. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Pop the popcorn.
- To make the caramel, place the sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water in a large saucepan (large enough to hold the popcorn) and cook until the caramel turns a light golden brown. Add baking soda and butter to the caramel. Then add the popcorn to the hot caramel and stir with a wooden spoon until the popcorn is evenly coated.
- Pour the caramelized popcorn onto a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and set aside to cool. Break up the popcorn with your hands. Serve in colored-cellophane bags.
Tips:
- To make the perfect caramel sauce, use equal parts sugar and butter. This will ensure that the sauce is thick and flavorful.
- Cook the caramel sauce over medium heat, stirring constantly. This will prevent the sugar from burning.
- Once the caramel sauce has reached a deep amber color, remove it from the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Be careful, as the mixture will bubble up vigorously.
- Let the caramel sauce cool slightly before using it. This will allow it to thicken even further.
- Store the caramel sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Use caramel sauce to top popcorn, ice cream, brownies, or other desserts.
Conclusion:
Caramel sauce is a delicious and versatile topping that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Follow these tips to make the perfect caramel sauce every time.
