Pipoca Doce

Pipoca Doce is a delightful Brazilian sweet popcorn snack that combines the crunchiness of popcorn with a sugary, caramel-like coating. This vegan treat is perfect for movie nights or as a fun snack to share with friends.

Ingredients

• Popped popcorn - 4 cups
• Coconut sugar - 1/2 cup
• Water - 1/4 cup
• Coconut oil - 2 tablespoons
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Sea salt - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the popped popcorn and set aside in a large bowl.
2. In the same pot, combine coconut sugar, water, and sea salt. Stir well and bring to a boil over medium heat.
3. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes without stirring, until it thickens slightly.
4. Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Pour the caramel mixture over the popped popcorn, stirring gently to coat evenly.
6. Let the pipoca doce cool for a few minutes before serving, allowing the coating to harden slightly.
