Caramel Bread Popcorn is a delightful snack that’s perfect for kids or friends during a movie night.
This simple recipe uses basic ingredients that you likely have at home, making it a stress-free treat.
Ingredients:
- Sliced bread
- Sugar
- Butter
- Milk
- Powdered milk (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the bread:
- Start by heating a nonstick frying pan over medium heat.
- While the pan is heating up, cut the sliced bread into small cubes.
- Once the pan is hot, add the cubed bread, and toast them until they become brown and crispy.
This should take a few minutes. Transfer the toasted bread cubes to a separate bowl.
2. Make the caramel sauce:
- Return the pan to the heat.
- Add about 3 tablespoons of sugar to the pan and pour in one tablespoon of water.
- Watch as the sugar and water mixture begins to turn a golden color.
3. Add butter and milk:
- Quickly add 1 tablespoon of butter to the caramelized sugar. Be careful as the mixture may bubble up.
- Stir in about three tablespoons of milk.
4. Caramelize the mixture:
- Allow the mixture to simmer and caramelize. It should start to thicken and turn a lovely caramel-brown color. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
5. Combine with toasted bread:
- Once the mixture has reached the desired caramel consistency, add the crispy toasted bread cubes back into the pan.
- Stir well to coat the bread cubes evenly with the caramel sauce.
6. Serve and garnish:
- Turn off the heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
- Let the caramel-coated bread popcorn cool.
- If desired, sprinkle some powdered milk over the caramel bread popcorn for added flavor and a unique touch.
Enjoy your homemade Caramel Bread Popcorn as a sweet and crunchy snack that’s perfect for any movie night or gathering.
