Tips:
- To make perfect popcorn, use a large pot with a tight-fitting lid. Make sure the popcorn is spread out in a single layer so that it cooks evenly.
- 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.
