Do you know how hard it is to prepare food for your family where you and one of your children can only eat certain things due to food allergies, but the other 2 people in your family can eat anything they want??

Directions

Open the bag of SkinnyPop Popcorn and pour the entire bag into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
Pre-heat your oven to 300. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium sauce pan, combine the unsalted butter, dark brown sugar and light corn syrup. Over medium heat, melt the ingredients until they come to a rolling boil. You will want to stir the mixture the entire time the ingredients are melting and when it comes to a boil.
Once the mixture comes to a boil, let it boil for 5 minutes while constantly stirring. Your mixture will start to thicken a little.
Once the 5 minutes is up, remove the saucepan from the heat and slowly stir in the bourbon and the vanilla extract. As you add these ingredients to the caramel mixture, the sauce will start to splatter so be careful.
Once the caramel is well mixed, pour it over the big bowl of popcorn and stir with a rubber spatula. The popcorn should now be coated with the caramel mixture.
Transfer the popcorn to the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure the popcorn is spread out to an even layer.
Bake for 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
Once the popcorn is done, let it cool for 15 minutes before serving. Store any leftovers in a Ziplock baggie.
