It’s already Friday, we don’t want you walking on The Blind Side or feeling Up In The Air about the Sunday night Oscar show. Be a Serious Man (or woman) and pay attention while we give you An Education on what to serve at your District 9 party. The Inglorious Bastards (and guests) will love the caramel and cajan popcorn. Afterwards, they can work the calories off in a Hurt Locker.
And the winner is… Avatar, silly!
To make the caramel chocolate popcorn…
Gather all the ingredients.
In a large saucepan place 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup corn syrup and 1/4 cup water.
Cook until golden brown. Do not mix during this time.
Add in 1/2 a teaspoon of baking soda and 1 tablespoon butter.
Add in 7 cups of hot air popped popcorn. Mix quickly.
Mix in any other toppings (I added pretzel bites to mine!)
Pour onto a baking sheet fitted with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.
Allow to cool slightly and drizzle with chocolate (I used both white and dark chocolate)
To make the Cajun popcorn…
Pull out all of the spice (paprika, seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper)
Melt 4 tablespoons of butter and add 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
Pour over 8 cups of hot air popped popcorn.
Mix well!
Happy Oscar’s Night!
