This satisfying snack is perfect for when you just can't decide between "sweet" or "salty"... so what about both?! Throw in some caramel, vanilla and coat it in almond butter and you've got yourself a winner! It's crunchy yet chewy, the perfect balance - really easy to make and free from dairy and gluten. Great for a party or munching in front of a movie!

Ingredients
- 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/8 Tsp Baking Soda
Method
- Preheat the oven to 170˚C. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- If using un-popped corn kernels, melt the coconut oil in a large pan on a high heat and add the corn kernels.
- Put the lid on the pan (very important!) and keep shaking the pan vigorously to allow all the kernels to pop (using oven glove or towel incase of hear!)
- Remove the lid and set aside.
- In a small pan over a medium heat, add the date syrup, maple, cashew butter and salt and stir well until combined.
- Allow to simmer for 3 minutes, then remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla and baking soda.
- Pour the caramel sauce over the popcorn and stir until it is all coated in the caramel.
- Spread the popcorn evenly on two lined baking trays, sprinkle with more salt, and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven halfway to turn popcorn over.
- Allow to cool completely before eating.
- Share & enjoy!
