Easy Microwave Homemade Caramel Chocolate Popcorn
Overview
In fact, there are many versions of homemade popcorn. I have seen that the main method is to use a pot, but for me, it is really difficult because my pot has no lid. . . Haha, after 2 attempts, I have found the easiest way to make popcorn in the microwave, but you need to use a pan for seasoning later.

Ingredients
Steps
-
Take an appropriate amount of butter. If the butter is still lumpy like me, put it directly in the microwave for 30 seconds. Take it out and take a look. If it does not melt, continue for another 30 seconds and continue until it melts.
-
Take an appropriate amount of self-exploding corn. It should be noted here that an appropriate amount means just enough to cover the bottom of the bowl. This picture of mine is a bit too much, the popped corn has even lifted the lid.
-
Close the lid and place in the microwave for 3 minutes and 15 seconds. (The bowl I used is a very common one. I believe everyone has it at home. It is relatively thick, so I pressed it for an extra 15 seconds. If it is a thin bottom, it only takes 3 minutes at most)
-
After more than 3 minutes, the popcorn was ready. Remove and spread on a plate to cool.
-
Take an appropriate amount of sugar and put it into the pot. (It is recommended to use a pan), add an appropriate amount of salad oil, the oil can moisten the sugar. Turn on high heat and boil the sugar. Be very careful here. From now on, stir the sugar in the pot constantly.
-
When the sugar begins to melt and clump together, turn down the heat and continue stirring.
-
Because it is caramel popcorn, the color may be a little lacking if only sugar is used. When the sugar is completely boiled (as shown in the picture), add a piece of chocolate (I put a Hershey chocolate) and stir constantly.
-
When the chocolate and sugar turn brown and can flow freely in the pot, pour in the popcorn and turn off the heat.
-
Keep stirring the syrup and popcorn, and then it's OK.
