Bacon Caramel Popcorn! (or without bacon is good too)

For all that asked, dairy free white chocolate chips are real and can be purchased here, here and here. I get mine from all of those places depending on when I order something.

Now, for a dairy free treat for my bacon lovers...


Bacon Caramel Popcorn!


You don't have to add the bacon...mine was without, but the boys love this! We had a super lazy day on Sunday and this a was perfect treat while we watched movies and hung out together. I love this recipe because it is so quick to come together for such a special treat!

Bacon Caramel Popcorn

20 cups air popped popcorn
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 TBSP coconut oil (or bacon grease or dairy free butter substitute of your choosing)
2 tsp salt
1 cup chopped thick cut cooked bacon

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil sprayed with cooking spray.

In a small pot over medium heat, add sugars, syrup, oil and salt stirring occasionally until it comes to a boil. Allow to boil for 2 minutes without stirring. When the sugar mixture is done boiling, add the chopped bacon and pour the caramel mixture evenly over the popcorn and stir to coat. Pour the popcorn mixture in the prepared pan and lay in a single layer. Bake for 15 minutes stirring at about 8 minutes.

    I saw a recipe similar on Biz's site last week and told my husband about it. He immediately went out and bought the ingredients (I have yet to make it, though)! Lol
    Oh, and that sounds like the perfect Sunday to me........ :)

    This looks delicious! After Andrew finishes his final exams, we have some full-days-of-watching-movies-and-eating scheduled -- I think I might do this (sans bacon -- sounds just as good!)

    I actually saw this on facebook and was wondering when you were going to mention it!

    My newest thing as of late is the sweet and salty combo... this ranks right up there!

    This sounds nothing short of amazing. Would love to make this for next movie night at home. Now we just need to start having more movie nights! I think the bacon might convince CD. ;)

    Can't wait to try it. Since I don't eat meat very much, I eat this bacon flavored (vegetarian) popcorn that is also non-dairy:

    Ha! I imagine this tastes delicious, as a salty + sweet combo lover myself. Though I can't stand cooking bacon!
