Homemade Caramel Popcorn, and Avatar

Desmond brought back a popcorn box after he watched the 3D Avatar movie, as he said he wants me to prepare popcorn for him and he can use this Avatar box to put the popcorns. I immediate run to supermarket to buy corn kernels when I saw a homemade caramel recipe, and the result was super good, tasted exactly like those we bought from the cinema.....

- Since this is my 1st time pop the corn kernels (only a small bunch), my kids and I shouted and overwhelmed when I opened the lid and we see popcorns all over the whole wok...Just amazing!!

-Drizzle caramel over the popcorn

To make caramel popcorn1. Add sugar in a clean wok/saucepan over medium flame, cook till melted and become syrup.
2. Add in butter and water, keep stirring till become thick caramel (put a drop of caramel into a bowl of water and when it is not immediate dissolved , then the caramel is ready)
3. Let the syrup cool slightly, then drizzle over the popcorn. Toss the popcorn carefully using spoons.
4. Bake at preheated oven at 150c for 20-30mins, stir from time to time.

my note- Do not over drizzle the caramel over the popcorn, otherwise the excess caramel will stick to your teeth when you eating them..no fun lo....
