My success with a rather delicious salt and vinegar popcorn recipe has spurred me on try some others…. it seems like the start of a popcorn journey with manifold possibilities… and popcorn is the perfect easy-eating snack if you’re still off food like Big S.
I’ve read about using nutritional yeast to make a cheesy flavour which I intend to try, but today’s experiment was dairy-free toffee popcorn. The result was pretty yummy, not dissimilar to Butterkist. Who needs dairy-loaded popcorn when the homemade dairy-free version is just as nice and twice as good for you, and a fraction of the price? 🙂
This recipe was inspired by the one found at Veg Bitch with a couple of little tweaks.
Toffee Popcorn (dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free, sesame-free, soya-free, gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan)
makes a large bowlful
- 2-3 cups freshly popped corn
- 2 tbsps dairy-free spread
- 2 tbsps soft brown sugar
- 1 tbsp golden syrup
- pinch of salt
– Melt together the dairy-free spread, sugar, syrup and salt. Bring to the boil and simmer for a minute or so.
– Place the freshly popped corn in a very large bowl (you need enough room to stir well)
– Slowly pour the sugar mix over the freshly popped corn, stirring all the time, until all the popcorn is well coated
– Serve

It’s my daughter’s birthday this weekend, She’s having a bunch of friends over for a “stay late” (we don’t do sleepovers) I’m pretty sure your blog is going to be my go to for all the party food! Love this popcorn! Also excited about making your cupcakes!
fab! Let me know how the stay-late goes 🙂 x
It was super fun! I didn’t have time to do fancy popcorn in the end, but I did make some of your cupcakes!
Kids birthdays are such fun times – what cakes did you make? Hope they turned out well 🙂

I added a drop of lemon essential oil to the batter and the icing as well. I topped them with some colorful sprinkles. They were a hit with all the little girls!
Thanks!
Good addition – glad they liked them. Have you got any photos? x
Yes, but for personal reasons, I don’t post photos of my kids and all the photos have kids in them. I may email you some! Is your email on your site? I’ll check
I don’t blame you not posting pictures of your kids… I wasn’t sure it was a good plan. My email isn’t on my site, but it’s lucyparr@me.com… I’d love to see a photo if you’ve got the time to send one over 🙂 xx
I’ve got time for my favorite overseas blogger anyday!
