4 cups granulated sugar
2 1/2 cups water

Where to find ingredients
All ingredients are readily available at major Canadian supermarkets. Look for granulated sugar and popcorn kernels in the baking aisle; any neutral vegetable oil, such as canola or sunflower oil, works well for this recipe.
Preparation method
- Combine the popcorn kernels, oil, granulated sugar, and water in a large heavy-bottomed pot or popcorn maker
- Set the heat to medium
- Stir continuously, ensuring all the kernels are well-coated in the syrup mixture and distributed evenly with the heat
- Keep stirring steadily as the kernels begin to pop, ensuring the glaze coats the expanding popcorn
- Once the popping slows significantly, immediately remove the pot from the heat to prevent the sugar from burning
- Spread the finished popcorn out on a cold surface to cool and set, which ensures it stays perfectly crunchy
