Caramel Popcorn
- 20 ml Butter (OR margarine)
- 375 ml Brown sugar
- 90 ml Cold water
- 6 cups Popped popcorn

Melt the butter and add the sugar and water

-
Cover with a lid and cook for about 3 minutes or until the steam has washed the sugar crystals down from the sides of the pot
-
Boil for about 25–30 minutes or until the soft ball stage has been reached (when a little syrup is dropped into iced water it forms a ball which flattens of its own accord when picked up with the fingers)
-
Remove from the heat and pour over the popcorn, stirring gently to coat completely
-
When cool enough to handle, mould into balls or lollipops and insert a small stick, if desired
