Super Bowl Recipe of the Day - Spicy Caramel Bacon Popcorn

Super Bowl Recipe of the Day - Spicy Caramel Bacon Popcorn

Ingredients

  • 5-6 slices of bacon
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ½ cup popcorn kernels
  • 1½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 3½  cups brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons fine sea salt

 

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and lay bacon side-by-side. Transfer baking sheet to hot oven and cook bacon for 15 minutes, and until crispy and brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain. When cool, cut into dice-sized pieces.

2. Lightly coat two large heatproof rubber spatulas and a large mixing bowl with nonstick cooking spray. In a large saucepan or pot with a lid, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the popcorn kernels, cover, and keep the saucepan moving until all of the kernels have popped, about 4 minutes. Transfer the popped popcorn to the large prepared bowl, removing any unpopped kernels and adding almonds.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together the baking soda and cayenne pepper. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, salt, and 1/2 cup water. Cook over high heat, without stirring, until the mixture becomes a light golden-yellow caramel, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and carefully whisk in the baking soda mixture (the mixture will bubble up). Quickly fold in bacon bits. Pour the caramel over the popcorn and toss, like a salad, until all of the popcorn is evenly coated with the caramel.

4. Pour the popcorn onto a large baking pan and quickly flatten and separate it into small pieces while it is still warm. Cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Once it is cool, store it in a well-sealed airtight container.

5. Caramel popcorn will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Enjoy!
