TWIX® Caramel Popcorn
Description
TWIX® Caramel Popcorn starts with plain, popped popcorn coated in a caramel sauce made from butter, light brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. After boiling the caramel and letting it cool slightly with baking soda and vanilla, it is poured over the popcorn and stirred to coat evenly. Baking at a low 250°F with occasional stirring for an hour crisps the caramel on the popcorn evenly.
Chopped Twix candy bars are sprinkled on top before baking a few more minutes to allow them to soften gently. Finally, melted milk or semisweet chocolate is drizzled over the popcorn and cooled to harden, creating a mix of crunchy, chewy, and chocolatey textures suitable for snacking or parties.
This treat combines sweet caramel flavor with the crunch of popcorn and caramel layers of Twix, ideal for festive occasions or indulgent snacking.
Ingredients
- 15 cups Popcorn about 1 cup of unpopcorn kernels, plain, popped
- 1 cup butter salted
- 2 cups light brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 24 Twix Candy Bars chopped into bite-size pieces, Fun Size
- 2 cups milk melted, or semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250°F and place the popped popcorn in a large bowl, discarding any unpopped kernels. Set bowl aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt, then stir constantly until the caramel comes to a full boil.
- Stop stirring and let the caramel mixture boil for 4 minutes without stirring. Remove the caramel from the heat and stir in the baking soda and vanilla. Pour the caramel over the popcorn in the bowl and gently stir to coat the popcorn.
- Divide the caramel popcorn evenly between two large baking sheets and bake at 250°F for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the chopped TWIX candy bars. Return the popcorn to the oven for 3 more minutes to let the TWIX just begin to melt into the popcorn.
- Remove the TWIX caramel corn from the oven and drizzle with melted chocolate, then cool completely until the chocolate hardens. This can be sped up by sticking the caramel popcorn in the freezer or fridge. Break up into smaller chunks and store at room temperature in an airtight container.
