Tips:

  • Use fresh popcorn kernels. Older kernels are more likely to be stale and produce tough, chewy popcorn.
  • Don't overcrowd the popcorn kernels in the pot. This will prevent them from popping evenly.
  • Keep the pot covered while the popcorn is popping. This will help to trap the heat and ensure that all of the kernels pop.
  • Remove the popcorn from the pot as soon as it is finished popping. This will prevent it from burning.
  • Let the popcorn cool slightly before adding the butter and toffee sauce. This will help to prevent the popcorn from becoming soggy.
  • Use a good quality butter. This will make the popcorn taste richer and more flavorful.
  • Make sure the toffee sauce is hot when you add it to the popcorn. This will help it to coat the popcorn evenly.
  • Store the popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
