Who loves caramel corn? I love caramel corn! I love eating it as much as I love gifting it. It’s such a great treat! This makes such a fun gift. Bag it up in small sacks with colorful bakers twine and a cute tag and you cleave a quick and inexpensive gift! This recipe is always crispy and sweet. No soggy caramel over here!
You may find my measurements strange. But just trust the process! Haha!
Best Caramel Corn
Sweet, crunchy, and never sticky, this homemade caramel popcorn is a family favorite and perfect for snacking or gifting.
Ingredients
- 8 cups popped popcorn
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar
- 9 tablespoon butter
- 4½ tablespoon light corn syrup
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ tsp baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300℉. Place popcorn in large roasting pan and remove all unpopped kernels. In a 1 ½ qt sauce pan add sugar, butter, corn syrup and salt. Cook and stir over medium heat until butter melts and mixture begins to boil. Cook without stirring for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and quickly stir in vanilla and baking soda. Pour over corn and with a large scraper stir gently to coat. At this point not every kernel will be coated, but you will stir again and by the end it will all be coated. Bake for 15 minutes. Pull out pan and stir well while scraping bottom. Bake an additional 7-10 minutes. Remove pan and stir again. Allow to cool. Break into pieces.
