Tips:

  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar mixture by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a hard, brittle ball, it's ready.
  • Be careful when pouring the hot sugar mixture over the popcorn. Wear gloves or use a spoon to protect your hands from the heat.
  • Work quickly when spreading the sugar mixture over the popcorn. If it starts to set, it will be difficult to spread.
  • Store the popcorn bark in an airtight container at room temperature. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
