Sugar Free Caramel Corn Recipes

SUGAR FREE CARAMEL POPCORN

Steps:

• Let's first make the caramel.. You will need a deep pot for this!! Slowly heat up your Swerve sweetener on medium-low.. stirring so it doesn't burn. It will slowly melt and caramelize. It will also smoke a little, so dont be alarmed. Once you have a deep amber colour, time to add in the butter. When you toss in the butter, you'll notice that it will bubble up. That's normal and why we used a deep pot for it. Stir until the butter has melted. Pour in your cream., Again, the mixture will bubble up even more and then slowly go back down. All normal! Stir for an additional 2-3 minutes then take the mix off the heat. Let it cool down.. Stir occassionally to get rid any crystalization of the Swerve. Once gets near room temp, you'll notice it has gotten thicker and has the consistency of caramel sauce! Now is the time to pour the mix on top of the popcorn. Mix it thoroughly but don't worry if you still have parts that aren't caramel. Put the popcorn onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 225 for roughly 45 minutes. Mix it often, so that the caramel transfers to more of the popcorn! Take it out and let it cool and you will have nice, crunchy caramel popcorn!

HOW TO MAKE SUGAR FREE KETTLE CORN

Steps:

• In a large pot set on medium heat, place your oil along with two kernels of the popcorn. Caution: Be sure to wear protective covering as when the popcorn kernels pop, it will most likely pop out of the pot.
• When the two popcorn kernels pop, add your remaining kernels, sugar alternative and salt to the pot.
• Cover the pot with a lid and give it a quick shake from side to side.
• While the popcorn is heating up, make sure that you have a large bowl nearby as you will quickly need to pour the popcorn into it. also, you will need to use pot holders or mitts as you shake the popcorn and move the pot.
• Shake your popcorn pot from side to side every minute and a half to two minutes. Once it starts to pop consistently and sounds like the pot is half full, you can remove the pot from the heat or turn the heat off.
• Continue to shake the pot back and forth to avoid burning the popcorn.
• When the popcorn reaches the top of the pot, use a pot holder to remove the lid- do not stand over the pot as the popcorn will still be popping most likely. As a result of removing the lid, the popping kernel can jump out of the pot.
• Dump the popcorn into the large bowl. Remember, the pot will be hot so take precautions.
