*** Crunchy Caramel Corn***
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, divided in half
- 1⁄3 cup popcorn kernels
- 1⁄4 cup maple syrup (or honey or agave nectar)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
In a large pot with a lid, heat half the coconut oil until it melts, then
add the popcorn kernels. Cover, and cook on high until the popcorn is
popped. In a saucepan, combine the remaining coconut oil, maple syrup,
and salt. Boil 2 minutes, remove from heat, and stir in vanilla. Drizzle
over popcorn and toss to coat popcorn evenly. For an extra-crunchy treat,
spread caramel popcorn evenly onto two cookie sheets. Bake on 250oF for
one hour. Enjoy!
*** Forrest’s Too-Spicy-for-Mom Popcorn ***
Cook the popcorn in the same way as the recipe above. Then make the
coating:
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Bragg’s Amino Acids or tamari sauce
- 2 tablespoon brewer’s yeast
- Cayenne pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Pour over popcorn and toss around. Use
as much cayenne as you can handle. Wash hands (before rubbing eyes).
Warn Mom before she eats any. Enjoy!
