4 cups granulated sugar
2 1/2 cups water
Where to find ingredients
You can find popping corn kernels, vegetable oil, and granulated sugar in the baking or snack aisles of all major Irish supermarkets such as Dunnes Stores, Tesco, or SuperValu. Use a neutral vegetable oil like sunflower or rapeseed for best results.
Preparation method
- Combine the popping corn kernels, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and water in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or popcorn maker.
- Place the pot over medium heat.
- Stir continuously without stopping, ensuring every kernel is coated in the syrup and exposed to the heat.
- Keep stirring until all the kernels have popped.
- As soon as the popping slows to a stop, remove the pot from the heat immediately to prevent the sugar from burning.
- Transfer the sweet popcorn onto a cool, flat surface and spread it out to cool completely, which ensures the coating sets into a crisp shell.
