Salted Caramel Popcorn Brittle
Ingredients
Popcorn
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2/3 cup popping corn
Caramel
- 100 g vegan butter or margarine
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup brown rice or golden syrup
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup peanuts
Toppings
- 300 g vegan dark chocolate melted
- Sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Grease a large baking dish approx. 36cm x 25cm.
- Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add a few pieces of popcorn and wait until it pops, then quickly remove. Add remaining popcorn, lift and shake to spread the kernels out evenly. Cover with a lid. Once the popcorn starts popping, shake gently once.
- Remove from heat when the popping slows down (when you can count to 3 between pops) and transfer to a very large bowl. Pick out any kernels that didn’t pop.
- To make the caramel, wipe the pot clean then melt the butter over low heat. Add sugar, syrup and salt and stir until just combined. When it starts to bubble, turn it down to the lowest heat possible and simmer for 3 minutes – do not stir. Be careful because it burns easily!
- Remove from the heat then whisk in peanut butter and baking soda. Tip the popcorn into the pot and quickly mix until popcorn is well coated. Quickly pour straight over popcorn. Mix well and press into greased baking dish.
- Pour melted dark chocolate over the top of the popcorn slice, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle with a generous pinch of sea salt flakes and refrigerate to cool. Cut into pieces with a hot knife when cooled
