Ingredients
Method
In a sauce pan with a lid, open the popcorn over a high heat with the sunflower oil spread on a tray.
Discard any kernels that haven’t opened.
Heat the sugar to a light caramel in a large pan and add the spices.
Bring to a dark golden brown and add the popcorn to the pan.
Toss the popcorn in the caramel quickly and season with sea salt so it sticks.
When well coated pour onto a tray and allow to cool and go hard.
Break into pieces and store in an airtight container until needed.
