INGREDIENTS
 

  • 80 g popcorn kernels, (⅓ cup slightly heaped)
  • 90 g coconut sugar or brown sugar, (7 tbsp)
  • 2 tablespoon water
  • 32 g peanut butter, (2 tbsp)
  • 28 g coconut oil, (2 tbsp)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, (slightly heaped)

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Prep the oven: Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  • Pop the kernels: Heat a medium-sized pot over medium heat (preferably non-stick). Once hot, add the popcorn kernels and cover with a lid.
  • Reduce to medium-low heat. When the kernels start to pop, gently shake the pot to prevent burning. Once all the kernels have popped, remove from heat and transfer the popcorn to a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Make the caramel sauce: In a small saucepan, add the sugar and water. Place over medium heat. Stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar dissolves and begins to bubble.
  • Combine ingredients: Remove from heat, add the peanut butter, coconut oil, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and form a sauce. If the peanut butter and oil do not melt completely with the residual heat, return the saucepan to low heat and stir until fully incorporated.
  • Coat the popcorn: Pour the caramel sauce over the popcorn and mix until the popcorn is fully coated. Transfer the coated popcorn to the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly.
  • Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until slightly golden and crispy.
  • Cool and store: Remove from the oven, let cool, and store in an airtight container or bag.
