How do i make sweet popcorn at home?

[74Jamie]

Okay i make salty popcorn at home but tonight i fancy buttery toffe or sweet popcorn but how at home, last time i tried with sugar and butter but it went to a horrid burnt mess anyone make this athis home and wnat to sharte?, thansk

metl butter in microwave
pur over

melt butter and golden syrup. Then using a spoon drip all over the popcorn (place popcorn on a large tray, spread out).

It is gorgeous.

sweet = sprinkle with sugar, same as for salt really. Caster sugar is better as it is finer and sticks better to warm popcorn

do i add sugar to the butter ?

sweet and buttery I would pour over melted butter, them sprinkle with sugar, or go to ASDA where they sell huge tubs for £1 :)

god htat golden syrup thinkg soudns great

I wouldn't add sugar, not nice.

You need 75g (3oz) butter

3 tablespoons of golden syrup

Trust me it is realy nice.

It coats the popcorn because of the syrup. Just like Butterkist, but nicer.
Whenever I make it at home it is gone within seconds. Oh I want some now!

mmm thanks everyone , am off to amke it now thanks goodness we have golden syrup in , I love MNet.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I'm in heaven the syrup butter combo worked really well and its fixing my sugar craving , thanks everyone, might have to make more, right off to watch tv and enjoy the peace.

You def. need caster sugar - it gives the popcorn that caramelised taste, if that makes sense. Butter, caster sugar and golden syrup.

we just sprinkle with icing sugar sticks better than normal sugar, use less and it's really nice. I found melted butter not worked for me, soggy and, well buttery, yuk

For the next time you make it, this is a great toffee recipe, from "Rachel's Favourite Food":

Melt 40g (!.5 oz) butter, add 40g brown sugar and 2 tbsp golden syrup and stir over a high heat for 1-2 mins. Then pour over your popcorn, mix and allow to cool a little

i'd been wondering this too, will have to give it a try. I usually sprinkle chilli powder over mine, much tastier than jsut salt.

I have just been searching for Pocorn ideas,

I tried the butter & golden syrup thing & got a VERY sticky load of soggy popcorn.

How do you all do yours so can hand it round without needing a flannel between every handful????

Thanks

Anyone

try sprinking with icing sugar. Sweet without being sticky.

i melt butter in the same saucepan as i made the popcorn, pour it on the popcorn, stir around and pour on caster sugar. oooooooooooooh yum. but i am a salty myself.

just use a very little butter, like about a dessert spoon for a whole saucepan of popcorn

no no no no

make the popcorn

then in a seperate pan on high heat put plenty of icing sugar

keep stirring - it will start to melt quite quickly, when it is melthed chuck in popcorn and stir. leave it to cool then crumble it up with hands

its the only way

oooh, does sound nice, enid. may have to try that one day!

yum!
