Ingredients
2 cups popping corn
1 cup vegetable oil
4 cups granulated sugar
2 1/2 cups water
1 cup vegetable oil
4 cups granulated sugar
2 1/2 cups water
Where to find ingredients
All ingredients are standard items found in any local grocery store or supermarket. Popping corn is usually in the snack aisle or with baking supplies. Granulated sugar and vegetable oil are staple pantry items found in the baking and oil/vinegar aisles respectively. No specialty shops are needed for these basics.
Preparation method
- In a large pot or popcorn maker, combine the popping corn, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and water
- Place the pot over medium heat
- Stir constantly and thoroughly, making sure every kernel is coated in the syrup and getting equal heat
- Keep stirring until all the kernels have popped
- As soon as the popping slows down to a stop, take it off the heat immediately to avoid burning the caramel
- Pour the candied popcorn onto a cool surface and spread it out so it crisps up as it cools
