The perfect way to enjoy the DVDs you find under the Christmas Tree this year.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Cooking time:<\/span> 15 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

You will need:<\/strong><\/p>

<\/div>\n
    \n
  • \n
    15 cups of popped popcorn<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    1 cup of granulated sugar<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    1\/4 cup of water<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    2 Tbs of butter<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • \n
      1\/2 cup of cream<\/div>\n
      <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      1 tsp of sea salt<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      You will then:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Place the sugar and water in a non-stick saucepan, stir to dissolve.<\/p>\n

      Place over a medium-high heat and swirl occasionally, to ensure even distribution of heat.<\/p>\n

      Allow to bubble – this could take 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of your pot – swirling every minute.<\/p>\n

      As soon as a glimmer of caramel appears, swirl to spread – so the entire pan turns caramel – and remove from the heat.<\/p>\n

      Add the butter, and again, swirl until it is melted and combined- off the heat.<\/p>\n

      Add the cream and salt – you can stir this in.<\/p>\n

      You may need to put it back on the heat for a minute if the cream causes the caramel to solidify.<\/p>\n

      Place the popcorn on a baking tray – in a single layer if possible – and drizzle over the caramel.<\/p>\n

      Toss and stir until all the popcorn is covered.<\/p>\n

      Allow to ‘set’ for an hour or so, until the caramel is no longer wet.<\/p>\n
