Maple Bacon Popcorn

Maple Bacon Popcorn is a delicious and indulgent snack that blends the sweetness of maple syrup with the savoury crunch of bacon. Here’s a simple recipe to make this treat at home:

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels

  • 6 slices of bacon

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions:

  1. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

  2. Pop the Popcorn: Leave about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the same skillet. Add the popcorn kernels to the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook over medium heat, shaking the skillet occasionally, until the popping slows down. Remove from heat and transfer the popped popcorn to a large bowl.

  3.  In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

  4.  Pour the maple syrup mixture over the popcorn, and toss to coat evenly. Add the crumbled bacon and sea salt, and toss again to combine.

  5.  Allow the popcorn to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this sweet and savoury snack while it’s fresh.
