Ingredients
-
cooking spray
-
8 cups popped popcorn
-
1 cup white sugar
-
¼ cup water
-
⅓ cup Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's®)
-
3 tablespoons butter, cut into small cubes
-
½ teaspoon baking soda
-
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (Optional)
Directions
-
Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Fill with popcorn.
-
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone pad.
-
Combine sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, without stirring and swirling pan gently as needed, until sugar has melted and the caramel is a deep amber color, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.
-
Stir Buffalo sauce and butter carefully into the caramel; it will spit and bubble and may form a ball. Return to heat; bring to a boil, stirring until caramel is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda and cayenne pepper.
-
Pour spicy caramel mixture carefully over the popcorn. Toss to completely coat, guarding your hands from the hot caramel. Spread the coated popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until dry, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes; stir.
Cook's Note:
You can also pop about 1/2 cup of unpopped popcorn to yield 8 cups.
