<Recipe> Caramel Pop Corn with Cashew Nuts Once you realise how easy and cheap to make this at home, you probably will think twice before scrambling to grab that expensive pack or bottle off the shelves now. 😄 Ingredients : 75g pop corn kennels 40g butter, melted 60g cashew nuts, chopped into halves (optional) Caramel Sauce : 70g sugar 25g dark brown sugar 10g butter 2 tbsp water Method : 1️⃣ Place corn kennels into a 24-cm deep wok pan, preferably with a transparent cover that comes with a steam outlet. Add in melted butter and mix well to coat with the corn kennels. 2️⃣ Cover the pan with medium heat. The corn kennels will start popping after a while. Once the popping stops completely, off the heat. 3️⃣ Combine all the ingredients for the caramel sauce and cook till the sugar melted. Add in the cashew nuts and continue cooking till the sugar caramelised. 4️⃣ You may adjust the sweetness of the pop corn by adjusting the amount of caramel sauce that is to be mixed with the pop corn. I used approx 4-5 tbsp of caramel sauce for every 60g of pop corn. 5️⃣ Stir the sauce evenly over the pop corn. I did this in small batches so that it’s easier to adjust the sweetness for different people. The caramel sauce will thicken once cooled down so be prepared to reheat the sauce when doing the next batch. 6️⃣ Spread the caramel pop corn onto a wired tray with a baking tray beneath. Toast it at 180 degrees C for 4-5 mins in the middle rack before removing from heat. Allow to cool completely before storing.
