Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 cups popped popcorn
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup root beer
1 cup corn syrup
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp root beer extract (optional)

Steps:

  • Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Pour popcorn into a large bowl, should be twice the size of the amount of popcorn you are using. I use a small roasting pan quite often for mixing candy popcorns. Set this aside.
  • Place a large saucepan on the stove, place the butter in the saucepan followed by the brown sugar. Turn heating element on medium heat and cook the mixture until the sugar dissolves. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes, more or less depending on your heat level and pan.
  • Add the root beer and cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes, bringing it to almost a boil. You want it bubbling a bit across the surface.
  • Add the corn syrup and allow to cook over medium-high heat until it begins to thicken. It should bubble up throughout the process, almost like making fudge, it will start to bubble and thicken after a few minutes. Stir every so often to make sure you don't heave the heat too high. You don't want the mixture to stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Once it begins to thicken considerably, and starts to resemble caramel (takes about 5 to 8 minutes, or so) you can take it off the heat, turn off the element, and add the salt, and vanilla. You can also add the root beer extract if you're using it. It just gives a stronger root beer flavour. I did not use it for this batch of popcorn, but do use it on occasion depending on how strong I want the flavour to be. Stir the mixture until smooth. Allow to cool for about 5 to 7 minutes so when you pour it over the popcorn that the popcorn won't shrivel up.
  • Once it's cool you can pour it over the popcorn, then use a big spoon to mix everything up really well. You want to coat all the popcorn thoroughly. Once it's even coated transfer it to the cookie sheet you prepared earlier. Spread it out evenly on the pan. Allow to cool on the pan until the root beer mixture hardens up. Drying takes about 1 to 2 hours. Don't put it in the oven or you'll just melt the mixture again!
  • You can stir it every 30 minutes so it doesn't stick together. Personally I like it to stick together a little bit so I leave mine in chunky pieces.
  • Once dry you can serve it or place it in an airtight container. Best if eaten on day 1, but will keep for 2 to 3 days. If it lasts that long.
  • Serve with a bit old root beer loving smile!

BUBBA'S FRIDAY NIGHT ROOT BEER POPCORN RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Bubba's Friday Night Root Beer Popcorn Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by sherree

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1/4 cup white corn syrup (Karo)
1/8 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons Root Beer flavor
1 drop of Americolor "Orange" food coloring gel or equal

Steps:

  • This recipe can also be doubled successfully. 1. Pop the popcorn kernels. Set aside in 2 large bowls. 2. Over medium heat, melt the butter in a medium sauce pan. 3. Add the corn syrup and water. Stir. 4. Add the sugar. Make sure not to let any sugar stick to the edges of the pan. If one grain of sugar is left undissolved, it can cause the whole batch to crystallize. 5. Bring to a boil and continue to cook until the mixture reaches 235-245 degrees. (Please use a candy thermometer). It is important for the mixture to reach this temperature, if it doesn't the candy will not harden properly. 6. Add the baking soda and stir quickly as the mixture begins to bubble. Once bubbly and frothy, remove the pan from heat. 7. Add the flavor and food coloring until mixed in. 8. Pour over the popped popcorn in both bowls. Fold into the popcorn until evenly coated.
