Caramel corn is a fun snack that evokes fond childhood memories.

But the stuff you get at the store just isn’t the same as the homemade or gourmet-coated corn that you’re used to.

Luckily, making it at home is super easy. You probably already have the ingredients to make this recipe in your pantry right now.

This recipe only takes about 20 minutes or less to make.

And it only has five ingredients.

All you need is corn kernels, sunflower oil, salt, sugar, milk, and butter.

The recipe requires you to pop your own fresh corn in a pot.

Then you put it aside in a bowl while you whip up your caramel.

Once you mix everything up well and let it get all bubbly, you remove it from the heat and pour it over your popped corn. You mix everything together until your popcorn is fully coated.

Then you try not to eat it all in one sitting.

Ingredients:

• 1 “glass” corn kernels (equal to about 100 ml to 175 ml. or 3/4 cup)
• 2 tbsp. sunflower oil
• pinch of salt
• 60g of sugar
• 150 ml. of milk
• 1 spoon of butter

Instructions:

Step 1.) Pour your corn kernels into a deep pot. Ricette dolci calls for a “glass” of kernels which looks like its about 3/4 cup. Stack Exchange says a glass is anywhere from 100 ml to 175 ml.

Step 2.) Next, pour your sunflower oil in one tablespoon at a time, drizzling the oil evenly over your kernals.

Step 3.) After this, you can sprinkle your salt over everything.

Step 4,) Mix well with a wooden spoon so everything is well coated and mixed together.

Step 5.) Turn your heat on and wait until your first kernel pops, then put the lid on your pot.

Step 6.) You might have to shake your pot a little to make sure all the kernels get popped, and nothing gets burned. You can transfer your popcorn into a bowl once it is all popped.

Step 7.) Now take a pan and pour 60g of sugar into it and shakes it around so that it evenly covers the bottom of the pan.

Step 8.) You sugar will begin to crystalize. Mix it around so that it all melts and turns a dark brown. Let this simmer.

Step 6.) Continually stir until your mixture things a bit. Then add in 1 spoon of butter, which looks ot be able 2 tbsps. of butter. Stir well until everything is melted.

Step 7.) Keep stirring until it turns a light caramel color. Now you can pour in 150 ml. of milk. Pour in half and stir, then pour in the other half and stir.

Step 8.) Keep mixing everything as it bubbles. Don’t stop until it thickens.

Step 9.) Remove from the heat and pour all over your popcorn and toss well with your wooden spoon until your popcorn is fully covered.

Step 10.) Eat and enjoy!
