  • 1 cup Dark Brown Sugar Essential for butterscotch flavor
  • 1 cup Butterscotch Chips Seek dairy-free options if necessary

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  2. Once melted, add 1 cup of dark brown sugar and stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes until fully dissolved and smooth.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add 1 cup of butterscotch chips.
  4. Stir well until the chips are completely melted and the sauce is glossy.
  5. Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, which will cause the mixture to foam slightly.
  6. Combine 10-12 cups of freshly popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl.
  7. Drizzle your prepared Butterbeer sauce evenly over the popcorn, tossing gently to coat.
  8. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  9. Spread the coated popcorn in an even layer and bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
  10. Once baked, let the popcorn cool completely before serving.
