1

Prepare the popcorn

Pop a bag of microwave popcorn, or you can make your own using a stovetop popcorn maker. Just ensure that you have a large bowl ready for all the deliciousness!

2

Make the spicy candy coating

In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of corn syrup, and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is bubbly. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Add the spices

Once the sugar mixture is ready, carefully stir in 1 teaspoon of hot sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. Adjust the spice level to your liking! Let the mixture simmer for another minute, making sure everything is well combined.

4

Coat the popcorn

Pour the spicy candy coating over the popcorn in the large bowl. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to gently toss and coat the popcorn evenly. Be careful not to crush the delicate popcorn pieces! Take your time and make sure every kernel gets a spicy hug.

5

Let it cool

Allow the Phoenix Fireball Spicy Candy Popcorn to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. The candy coating will harden slightly, giving the popcorn a satisfying crunch. Get ready for a flavor explosion in your mouth!
