    Me too, but that doesnt help my partner in dieting circumstances, he he!

    Do you melt the butter with the sugar in it the 'cook' the popcorn or do you add them after it has popped (who says I can't have the naughty variety whilst OH is on a diet?!!!)

    I pop the corn in a little oil on the stove, then melt the butter in the microwave. Once it has popped, stick it into a bowl, pour over the melted butter and sprinkle on the sugar, lovely!!! think i might have to make some now!!!

    Doesn't all this stuff mess up the inside of your popcorn maker though, or do you put on top after its popped out into the bowl?

    This is what I do ~ melt 40g butter, adding 40g brown sugar and 2tbsp of golden syrup and stir over a high heat for 1-2 mins. When the popcorn has all popped, pour the toffee over, put the lid on the pan and shake to fully mix the toffee sauce. Pour out into bowls and cool.
