I've been dying to make these treats for Halloween. Believe it or not, you can make Caramel Corn that won't give your dentist or your naturopathic doctor a heart attack. That's because it's made using brown rice syrup which is gentler sweetener that actually requires your body to take a bit more time to digest than refined sugar. Which is a good thing. I can't stop stuffing myself with the candy corn. While this healthier twist on a traditional treat may not be appropriate for doling out to trick or treaters, it is a definite must try for the family and close friends at this special time of year. Welcome Ancient Ones! Happy Samhain!
CARAMEL CORN
Candy corn is a festive seasonal confection that is easy to make. I am
especially pleased to say that this recipe won’t rot your teeth.
8 cups popped organic popcorn kernels– about 1/2 cup dry
2 tablespoons organic coconut oil
1/2 cup organic brown rice syrup
1/4 cup organic almond or peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Heat ingredients in a saucepan until liquefied, about 5 minutes.
Stir until well blended. Slowly pour mixture over popcorn while mixing.
Let cool and enjoy, or then transfer the popcorn mixture to a glass baking
pan and bake in the oven at 350 degrees. Be careful not to scorch it– check
every 3 minutes or so until slightly browned and crunchy.
