Toffee Popcorn

Ingredients

  • 50g popping corn
  • 140g salted butter
  • 140g light muscovado sugar

Method

  1. Place the popping corn into a bowl with a lid and cook it in the microwave on High for 21⁄2-3 mins.
  2. Transfer the popped corn to a large bowl and repeat this process four additional times. You can prepare the popcorn up to a day in advance if stored in an airtight container. While popping, melt the butter in a saucepan and add the sugar. Warm the mixture gently until the sugar dissolves completely. Drizzle the resulting caramel over the popcorn and mix thoroughly to ensure an even coating. Allow it to cool before serving in plastic cups.
