We usually pop our own popcorn straight from kennels so it has no additional flavoring. That is another fun activity that I like to do with my daughter!


We usually use Orville Redenbacher’s Gourmet Popcorn Kernels


Follow directions on the back of container. We are usually using our frying pan to pop our popcorn and as you can see love to observe the whole action under the lid

  • Stirring continuously, bring the butter and sugar mixture up to a boil on medium heat for about 5 minutes

  • add 1/2 tsp baking soda at the end . It will slightly change its color but caramel will be lighter and smoother to mix with popcorn

Mix your popcorn in parts with your caramel by gently folding it . Leave on the flat surface to cool off

Drizzle the caramel mixture over the popcorn.  Use a spoon to gently fold the popcorn with the mixture until the kernels are all covered
