Zebra Popcorn
It’s National Popcorn Day!
To celebrate National Popcorn Day, I decided to make some AMAZING zebra popcorn!
This popcorn is perfect for a casual night in as well as Valentine’s/Galentine’s Day movie night with the girls! Great for goodie bags at the end of a party, or just for yourself. To be shared and to be selfish, this is the perfect popcorn for anything!
Check out the recipe below!!
Zebra Popcorn
Ingredients
- ¾ cup popcorn
- 1 cup butter
- 1½ cups brown sugar
- ½ light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips (or your chocolate of preference)
Instructions
- Preheat oven 250 and set the rack on the second lowest position
- Make popcorn as normal or as instructed
- Place popcorn in oven in an oversafe container to keep warm
- In a saucepan, add brown sugar, corn syrup, salt, and butter. Bring to boil for 5 minutes while continuously stirring and scraping sides of the saucepan. Remove from heat and add your vanilla and baking soda. Stir until mixture has thickened.
- Pour over popcorn mixture mixing popcorn and caramel as you go along to give a nice even layered coating.
- Transfer caramel popcorn to wax paper lined baking sheet to a single layer. Cool completely. Once cooled, bake in the oven for 1 hour stirring the popcorn every 15 minutes.
- Take out of the oven and let popcorn be cooled completely before adding chocolate
- microwave chocolate for 30 seconds, stirring in 15 second intervals until smooth and melted. Drizzle over popcorn and let cool completely before separating the popcorn into pieces.
- ENJOY!
The popcorn takes about 2-2 1/2 hours to make all together, but it’s definitely worth it and will make all of your friends jealous!
The popcorn lasts up to a week in a zip bag, but I don’t think it will last that long!
Happy Making!
This looks delicious! I will need to try to make this!!
This is my favorite popcorn to buy when I go to any sporting event at the Staples Center. Now I don’t have to spend all that money and I can make it at home. Yay!
Glad to hear it! 🙂
