Day 11

Last night I attempted to make vegan carmalley popcorn from Vegan Girl's Guide to Life which I was really looking forward to, but unfortunately I burnt the caramel. Oh well. Live and learn. Otherwise I could tell it would have been really good! I mean, it looked pretty.

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 Earth Balance butter
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp brown rice syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
3 tbsp popcorn kernels
1/2 cup roasted nuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Pop the popcorn kettles and spread on greased baking sheet. If adding nuts spread out with popcorn. In medium saucepan bring brown sugar, maple syrup, rice syrup,  and margarine to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often. After it has deepened in color and thickened, remove from heat and add vanilla, salt, and baking soda. Pour the caramel over the popcorn and put in oven for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly before eating. Enjoy and don't burn the caramel!
