:: RECIPE OF THE WEEK ::

Caramel Corn

Serves 8 |  Prep. Time 10 minutes |  Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Popcorn

• 3 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil

• 1/2 cup Barley Malt Syrup

• 1/2 cup maple syrup

• 1/4 cup peanut butter

• 2 tsp Mugi Miso

Directions

Heat oil in a large pot and pop corn according to package directions. Place popped corn in a large bowl. Preheat oven to 350°. Combine the barley malt, maple syrup, peanut butter and miso in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil over a high flame, stirring frequently. Reduce the flame to medium-low, stirring constantly for 5 to 7 minutes. Pour over the popcorn and mix thoroughly. Place the mixture on an cookie sheet (do not oil) and spread out evenly. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately remove the caramel corn with a spatula to prevent sticking to the sheet. Preferably, use all organic ingredients. * For those with allergies to peanuts, substitute almond or cashew butter; or omit.
