How to cook deliciously - Spicy-Sweet Buffalo Popcorn

1. Stage

Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Fill with popcorn.

2. Stage

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone pad.

3. Stage

Combine sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, without stirring and swirling pan gently as needed, until sugar has melted and the caramel is a deep amber color, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.

4. Stage

Stir Buffalo sauce and butter carefully into the caramel; it will spit and bubble and may form a ball. Return to heat; bring to a boil, stirring until caramel is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda and cayenne pepper.

5. Stage

Pour spicy caramel mixture carefully over the popcorn. Toss to completely coat, guarding your hands from the hot caramel. Spread the coated popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet.

6. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until dry, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes; stir.
