Carmel Corn- Vegan & Refined Sugar Free

Here is a great carmel corn recipe. I am thrilled about it because it is vegan AND best part, it is refined sugar free! Can't beat that. So I put up our Christmas tree this week, yes I am one of those, and we watched a Christmas movie while munching on our carmel corn. It was a perfect way to ring in the absolute best time of the year! Enjoy! (I halved the recipe below and it was plenty for two people to eat)

Carmel Corn

12 cups popped popcorn (about 1/2 cup kernels)

1 cup sucanat

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

1/3 cup vegan butter (I used Earth Balance)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

Directions

Air pop your popcorn and if you don't have a popcorn machine place the kernels in a large pot over medium high heat with tight fitting lid. For 1/2 cup kernels you will need at least a 6 quart pot. Keep the pot moving around the burner to avoid burning the kernel, hold down the lid, and wait for the kernels to pop. Remove from heat as the popping slows down, keeping the lid on for any remaining kernels to finish.

In a medium sized pot combine sugar, maple syrup, and vegan butter over medium heat.

Stir together and bring to a boil. Let boil for five minutes, stirring once.

Remove from heat and adding salt and vanilla. Immediately pour over the popcorn slowly while mixing it in with a spatula.

Let sit 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
