For a richer flavor, use brown butter in place of regular butter. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spiciness. If you enjoy blue cheese, try sprinkling a few crumbles over the popcorn after baking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSpray a large bowl with cooking spray. Add the popcorn to the bowl. (2 minutes)
02
StepPreheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, without stirring but swirling the pan gently as needed, until the sugar melts and transforms into a deep amber caramel. (8-12 minutes)
04
StepCarefully stir in the Buffalo sauce and butter into the caramel. Be cautious, as it will bubble and spit. It might initially form a ball. Return the saucepan to heat and bring to a boil, stirring until the caramel is completely dissolved. (3 minutes)
05
StepRemove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the baking soda and cayenne pepper.
06
StepCarefully pour the spicy caramel mixture over the popcorn. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat each kernel, being mindful of the hot caramel. Spread the coated popcorn evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
07
StepBake in the preheated oven until the popcorn is dry and crisp. (15-20 minutes)
08
StepLet cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then stir to prevent clumping.
