115g butter

100g soft brown sugar

1 tbsp golden syrup

1 tbsp black treacle

2 tbsps water

2 ½ tsp ground ginger

1 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tsp milk powder (optional but does add a lovely creamy gingerbread latte type of taste)

 

Begin by adding the oil and popping corn to a large pan with a lid.
