Caramel Popcorn Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• Line a baking tray with baking paper, set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan on medium high heat. Put a few popcorn kernels into the oil and cover the saucepan.
• Once the kernels pop, add the rest of the 1⁄2 cup (60 G) of popcorn kernels in an even layer.
• Cover, remove from the heat and count 30 seconds. Return the pan to the heat. The popcorn should begin popping soon, and all at once. Once the popping starts vigorously, gently shake the pan by moving it back and forth over the burner. Try to keep the lid slightly ajar to let the steam from the popcorn release (the popcorn will be drier and crisper).
• Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pan from the heat, remove the lid, and dump the popcorn immediately into a wide bowl.
• Break up ¾ of the popcorn into small bits: this will become the base of the brownie. Leave the remaining ¼ as is in a separate bowl.
• Now, onto the caramel: In the same saucepan, place sugar, golden syrup, butter, vanilla extract and heat on low to medium heat until sugar has dissolved.
• Increase to medium heat and cook without stirring for around 2 minutes (please note this is a reduced cooking time as it continues to cook in the oven).
• Stir in baking soda and then add popcorn and stir furiously to coat kernels all over before the caramel starts to set.
• Quickly press ¾ of the broken up popcorn into a lined 33 x 25 x 5.5 cm pan.
• Spread the remaining ¼ out onto the lined baking tray and allow to cool and set.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Melt the butter and chocolate together in the microwave in short bursts on medium heat.
• In a bowl beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla.
• Sift the flour into another bowl and add the salt.
• Let the chocolate mixture cool a bit before beating in the egg and sugar mixture and then the flour.
• Pour this over the popcorn base and bake for 30-40 minutes. (When it's ready the top should be dried to a pale brown but the middle is still dark and gooey).
• Once the brownies are cool, slice into even squares. Top each square with a few pieces of the remaining caramel popcorn.
• Put the brown sugar and butter in a small pan and heat on medium for 5 minutes, then drizzle over the top of each brownie.
• Serve and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° F. In a bowl, mix oil and sugar until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla, stir until blended.
• Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Stir dry ingredients into the oil/sugar mixture.
• Pour into greased 9x9 square pan and top with G.H. Cretors Just the Caramel Corn Popcorn. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool completely before cutting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (95 degrees C). Place popcorn in a very large bowl.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil without stirring 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in soda and vanilla. Pour in a thin stream over popcorn, stirring to coat.
• Place in two large shallow baking dishes and bake in preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool completely before breaking into pieces.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Grease then line a 23cm square traybake tin with baking parchment.
• Melt 200g unsalted butter in a medium pan, break in 100g chocolate (70% cocoa solids) and 100g chocolate (50% cocoa solids), then remove the pan from the heat and wait for the cubes to melt.
• In a small bowl, mix 175g Carnation caramel from a 397g can with 1 tsp sea salt - it will loosen up.
• Put the rest of the caramel in a large bowl with 200g golden caster sugar and 4 medium eggs, and beat with an electric hand mixer or balloon whisk until even. Whisk in the chocolate and butter.
• In another bowl, combine 130g plain flour, 50g cocoa powder and a good pinch of table salt, then sift this on top of the chocolate mix. Beat briefly until smooth.
• Pour half the brownie batter into the tin and level it with a spatula.
• Using a teaspoon, spoon half of the salted caramel on top of the batter layer in 5 thick, evenly spaced stripes.
• Spoon the rest of the brownie batter on top and smooth it out, trying not to disturb the caramel beneath. Top with the rest of the caramel in the same stripy fashion. Drag a skewer or tip of a knife through the caramel to make a feathered pattern on the top.
• Scatter with a little more sea salt, then bake for 25-30 mins or until risen all the way to the middle with a firm crust on top. When ready, the brownie will jiggle just a little when you shake the tin.
• Let it cool completely in the tin, then cut into squares.
