Caramel popcorn

Ingredients

For the popcorn:

• 1.5 oz corn kernels (for popcorn)
• 2 Tbsp sunflower oil

For the caramel:

• 1.3 oz butter
• 6 oz sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda

Preparation

• For the popcorn:
  In a non-stick pan, heat the oil. Then, add the corn kernels and cover the pan so the popcorn can pop.
• Depending on the heat of your stove, it will take more or less time to pop. About 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
  
• For the caramel:
  In a saucepan, put the butter and sugar and let it caramelize (golden color without burning).
• Then add the vanilla and salt, mix, and finally add the baking soda.
  This will cause a chemical reaction in the caramel that will thicken it even more.
  
• At this moment, pour it directly over the popcorn.
  Mix well with the help of two spoons to distribute the caramel before it hardens.
• Place the popcorn on a tray lined with parchment paper to cool.
  
• Separate them slightly, and you're done! Now you can enjoy them in front of a movie :D

Observations

You can store them for up to 1 week in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, but they probably won't last more than 1 day :D
