Description
Air Fryer Caramel Chocolate Popcorn is one of the most delicious snacks you can make in your air fryer! Oh, so good! Today, I made this for my kids for an afterschool snack, and they were in heaven!
Ingredients
Popcorn Mix:
- 6 cups popped popcorn
- 1/2 cup almonds, diced
- 1 cup pretzels, any type
- 3 ounces chocolate bar, diced
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Caramel Sauce:
- 6 tablespoons butter, unsalted, melted
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla pure extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Mix the popcorn, almonds, and pretzels in a large baking sheet, air fryer basket, or tray bowl.
- Melt the butter, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla together over medium heat until it boils in a medium pot. Boil for 5 minutes (a candy thermometer should reach 240° F), then immediately mix in the vinegar and baking soda, whisk well.
- Pour the caramel mixture over the popcorn mixture and stir to coat.
- Transfer the sheet pan to the air fryer basket or tray, and air fry for 4 to 6 minutes, at 250 degrees F, air fryer setting, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven and let cool 2-3 minutes before stirring in the chopped chocolate bar and marshmallows.
- Allow cooling completely before dividing into lidded containers. The caramel corn will keep for about 7 days at room temperature.
