Categories     Corn

Yield 12 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 strips of bacon, reserve bacon fat
¾ cup of unpopped kernels
¼ cup butter
¼ cup bacon fat
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup maple syrup
¼ cup bourbon
½ tbs vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp baking soda
3 tbs vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. Fry bacon and set aside. Drain bacon fat and reserve for caramel mixture. 2. Put three tablespoons of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. 3. Add three kernels to the pot. When they begin to pop, add the ¾ cup of popcorn, cover and shake pot occasionally, so popcorn doesn't burn. 4. Remove pot from heat once popping has slowed, place popcorn in a large bowl. 5. Heat oven to 250-degrees. 6. Crumble bacon over finished popcorn. 7. In a large pot, bring butter, bacon fat, brown sugar, and maple syrup to a boil, stirring constantly. 8. Reduce heat and simmer for five minutes, then remove from heat. 9. Stir in bourbon, vanilla extract, salt, and baking soda. Warning: This mixture might overflow, so use a pot that is tall enough, just in case. 10. Pour caramel mixture over bacon and popcorn mixture. Toss to coat evenly. 11. Spread mixture onto a large baking sheet covered in parchment. Bake for 50-minutes, stirring the popcorn every 15-minutes. 12. Remove from oven. Cool for one-hour before noshing.
