Preparation
Parmesan Popcorn
Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C).
In a bowl, mix Canadian butter with basil, salt and pepper. Add popcorn and gently stir to coat. Sprinkle with Canadian Parmesan and stir so cheese sticks to popcorn. Spread over a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and bake for 5 minutes.
Caramel Popcorn
In a saucepan, mix sugar, corn syrup and water. Cook on medium heat without stirring until a pale brown caramel is obtained. CAUTION: The caramel is very hot!
Remove from heat and immediately add Canadian butter. Blend in mini-marshmallows and vanilla extract and add popcorn. Stir to thoroughly coat.
Spread over a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Do not touch with fingers.
Let cool.
Tips
Serving suggestion: Enjoy each flavour on its own or mix the two popcorn flavours, Parmesan and caramel, together in the same bowl for a sweet-and-salty taste.
