Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Large saucepan
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
- Wooden spoon or heatproof spatula
Ingredients
- 8 cups popped popcorn (about 1/2 cup unpopped kernels)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cannabis-infused butter
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside
- In a large mixing bowl, place the popped popcorn and set aside
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, cannabis-infused butter, light corn syrup, and salt. Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a boil
- Once the mixture reaches a boil, continue stirring and let it boil for 4-5 minutes without stirring. The mixture should reach the soft-ball stage, or about 235°F (113°C) on a candy thermometer
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract. Be careful as the mixture will bubble up
- Immediately pour the hot caramel mixture over the popped popcorn in the mixing bowl. Use a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula to gently toss and coat the popcorn evenly with the caramel
- Spread the caramel-coated popcorn evenly onto the prepared baking sheet
- Bake the popcorn in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even coating and prevent burning
- Once baked, remove the caramel popcorn from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet
- Once cooled, break the caramel popcorn into clusters and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to one week
Notes
- Adjust the potency of the cannabis-infused butter according to your preference and tolerance level.
- Feel free to customize the popcorn by adding nuts, pretzels, or chocolate chips before baking for extra flavor and texture.
- Enjoy responsibly and be mindful of the effects of cannabis-infused edibles.
