Ingredients

  • ½ cup unpopped popcorn

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ½ cup light corn syrup

  • ½ cup butter

  • ¼ cup water

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Pop popcorn in an air popper according to manufacturer's instructions.

  2. Combine sugar, corn syrup, butter, and water in a heavy saucepan over medium heat; cook until toffee syrup temperature reaches 280 degrees F (138 degrees C) using a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

  3. Mix toffee syrup with popcorn in a large bowl until evenly combined.

Cook's Note:

I prefer Mexican vanilla extract, but traditional works well too.
