- 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup
- 2 tsp unsalted butter
- 3 cups (35 g) plain popcorn (see note)
- 1 pinch fleur de sel
- 5 eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- In a pot, bring the maple syrup and butter to a boil until a candy thermometer reads 248°F (120°C). Remove from the heat.

- Transfer to the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the popcorn is nicely caramelized. Let cool completely. The popcorn will keep for 2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature.
