How to Make Salted Maple Popcorn

Popcorn is an agreed upon snack by everyone in our household. The smell of fresh popped popcorn is so enticing and draws everyone to the kitchen. Our family pretty much enjoys popcorn in any form – either plain or jazzed up in a candied fashion such as this recipe.

We especially love this maple salted popcorn during the fall and winter months!

To make this homemade salted maple syrup popcorn, first you will need to pop your popcorn! Don’t forget to pop extra to have some plain popcorn to snack on.

Next, you will make your maple ‘butter’ for the popcorn. In a small saucepan on the stovetop, combine your coconut oil, maple syrup and brown sugar. Bring to a boil and boil for a few minutes. This is important as you want your popcorn to resemble a caramel popcorn but with maple syrup.

After your mixture is candied, remove from stovetop and quickly add in extract, baking soda and salt.

Place on prepared baking pan and bake to obtain a crunchy texture!

  It's great and we love it! I buy it at my regular grocery store. Warning: It's brown in color, but acts just like any sugar.

  The ingredients call for brown sugar, but the directions ask for coconut sugar. Which is it?
