Spicy-Sweet Buffalo Popcorn image

If Buffalo wings and kettle corn married, this would be their baby! This popcorn is sweet, salty, and spicy all at the same time! It's a winner for football parties. If you like blue cheese, try sprinkling a few blue cheese crumbles over your serving of popcorn. I put a small bowl of blue cheese crumbles next to the popcorn bowl so people can add some if they wish.

Time 56m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

cooking spray
8 cups popped popcorn
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup water
⅓ cup Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's®)
3 tablespoons butter, cut into small cubes
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Fill with popcorn.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone pad.
  • Combine sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, without stirring and swirling pan gently as needed, until sugar has melted and the caramel is a deep amber color, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir Buffalo sauce and butter carefully into the caramel; it will spit and bubble and may form a ball. Return to heat; bring to a boil, stirring until caramel is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda and cayenne pepper.
  • Pour spicy caramel mixture carefully over the popcorn. Toss to completely coat, guarding your hands from the hot caramel. Spread the coated popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until dry, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes; stir.

I'm not a big fan of buffalo sauce, but I really enjoyed this popcorn. The sweetness from the honey mellows out the spice perfectly.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my popcorn didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I might have overcooked it.

This popcorn is a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the perfect amount of heat.

I love how easy this recipe is to make. I just popped some popcorn in the microwave and then tossed it with the buffalo sauce and melted butter. It was so quick and easy, and it turned out so delicious.

This buffalo popcorn is a total crowd-pleaser! It's the perfect balance of spicy and sweet, and the popcorn is so light and airy. I made it for a party last weekend and it was gone in minutes.
