Alborotos
Honduran popcorn balls bound with rapadura and corn syrup.
About Alborotos
Buen Provecho presents these alborotos as a typical Honduran sweet associated with the country’s eastern region and celebrations. This named popcorn version uses rapadura and corn syrup for its sweet coating.
Rapadura supplies the dark sugar character, while corn syrup joins the caramel mixture. The popcorn forms the cereal base, with a little vegetable oil used during shaping.
The caramel-coated popcorn is formed into rounded balls and left to cool. Individual popped kernels remain the visible structure of the sweet, clustered together by the syrup coating.
