Amazing Popcorn Recipes

Chocolate and Salted Caramel Popcorn

INGREDIENTS:

1 tbsp oil

75g / ½ cup popcorn kernals

100ml caramel sauce (shop bought or homemade)

1 tbsp dark chocolate chips

METHOD:

Add the oil and popcorn kernals to a large saucepan over a moderate heat. Cover with a lid and leave on the hob until the popcorn starts to pop. To avoid burning your popcorn remove the saucepan from the heat when the pops reduce to approximately one every couple of seconds.

Once the popping has stopped completely remove the lid and transfer the popcorn to a large bowl, leaving any unpopped kernals in the saucepan. Add the caramel sauce and dark chocolate chips and mix well.

Serve immediately. The popcorn will keep for 24 hours in an airtight container.




Salted Caramel Popcorn With Almonds

INGREDIENTS:

½ cup popcorn kernels, popped (about 8 cups)

½ cup unsalted butter

¼ cup corn syrup

1 cup brown sugar

½ tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking soda

1 6 oz container Blue Diamond Roasted Salted Almonds

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 250F.
Line a large roasting pan or deep 9 x13 baking dish with parchment paper (easy clean-up!) and fill with popcorn. Top with almonds. Keep popcorn warm in the oven while preparing the caramel.
Melt the butter in a 3 qt heavy, saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup and salt and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Once the mixture is at a boil, stop stirring and boil for 4 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and baking soda.
Pour the mixture in a thin steam over the popcorn. Use tongs to mix the popcorn, almonds and caramel making sure to thoroughly coat.
Put the baking dishes into the oven and let bake for 45 minutes. Every 15 minutes, pull the dishes out and break up the caramel corn using tongs to turn the popcorn over and mixing it up. After 45 minutes, let the caramel corn cool completely before breaking into small pieces.
Store in an airtight container or the popcorn will turn sticky.




Sour Cream and Onion Popcorn


INGREDIENTS:

1/3 cup popcorn kernels

2 tablespoons coconut oil

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

3 tablespoons powdered buttermilk*

1 1/2 tablespoons onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

METHOD:

Place a 3 quart saucepan (or Whirley Pop) over medium-high heat. Add coconut oil and popcorn kernels to the pan. Close the lid and move pot back and forth (or whirl around!) on the stove and pop the popcorn until you start to hear the popping slow down. Remove from the stove. Put popcorn in a large bowl and set aside.


Drizzle the popcorn with olive oil and toss it well to coat. In small bowl, whisk together dill, cheese, buttermilk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pour it over the popcorn and toss the popcorn evenly to coat it in the mixture. Taste the popcorn and season it additionally if needed.


* If you cannot find powdered buttermilk for this recipe, powdered milk can be used in a pinch. You might need to adjust to the salt level as the powdered milk is slightly sweeter and less tangy than the buttermilk.

I pulled up to a red light and on the corner a man stood holding a ragged cardboard sign that read, “Poor, please help.” My daughter sat beside me and looked at the man. “Mom, I feel really bad for him,” she said as she reached into my purse and pulled out a bill. “Give this to him, please.” I looked into her eyes and saw compassion and a commitment to help someone in need. After giving the man the money, I noticed my daughter beamed with happiness, because she had made a difference in someone’s life. When we help others we feel happy. There appears to be a direct correlation with overall well-being and giving our time, money or other resources to a cause that we are passionate about. Studies suggest that people who volunteer report better health and more happiness than people who do not volunteer.
