How to Prepare Bourbon Caramel Popcorn [Vegan]
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the refined sugar and cold water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a slow simmer.
- Allow the sugar to simmer for 12 minutes without stirring.
- As the sugar simmers, split a vanilla bean in two and scrape out the seeds (skip this step if you choose to use vanilla paste or extract instead of beans).
- Remove the sugar from the heat and stir in the vegan butter substitute, bourbon, vanilla beans (or paste or extract) and pinch of sea salt.
- Allow the sugar mixture to cool for 2-3 minutes.
- In the meantime, stir together the popcorn, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
- Add in the sugar mixture and stir until the popcorn is fully coated. Be careful, the sugar mixture will still be warm.
- Spread the popcorn evenly on the baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once. Keep an eye on the popcorn, you want it to be crisp but not burnt.
- Remove the popcorn from the oven and melt the chocolate chips in the microwave.
- Drizzle the chocolate over top of the popcorn.
- Place the popcorn in the refrigerator until the chocolate sets.
- Remove the popcorn from the fridge, break into pieces and enjoy!
