Steps:
- Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
- Whisk together the creamed corn, cornbread mix, eggs, corn kernels, sour cream and scallions in a large bowl. Melt the butter and mascarpone in a small saucepot over low heat, stirring occasionally. (Be careful not to simmer or the mixture will separate.) Pour the melted butter and mascarpone into the large bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper and mix well to combine.
- Butter a large Dutch oven and pour the mixture in. Place over indirect heat, cover the grill and bake at 325 to 375 degrees F until the mixture is set and golden brown on top, about 1 hour. Take off the grill and serve!
- (Alternatively, you can bake the corn pudding in a 350 degrees F oven for 1 hour.)

Steps:
- Place the popped popcorn into two shallow greased baking pans. You may use roasting pans, jelly roll pans, or disposable roasting pans. Add the peanuts to the popped corn if using. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, margarine and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring enough to blend. Once the mixture begins to boil, boil for 5 minutes while stirring constantly.
- Remove from the heat, and stir in the baking soda and vanilla. The mixture will be light and foamy. Immediately pour over the popcorn in the pans, and stir to coat. Don't worry too much at this point about getting all of the corn coated.
- Bake for 1 hour, removing the pans, and giving them each a good stir every 15 minutes. Line the counter top with waxed paper. Dump the corn out onto the waxed paper and separate the pieces. Allow to cool completely, then store in airtight containers or resealable bags.

THE EASIEST AND BEST CARAMEL CORN I'VE EVER MADE
Oh LORD, have mercy! LOL! This stuff is the kind-of snack you sit down in front of the tv with and you look down and it's all gone! The best part about this recipe is (other than the end product) the fact no candy thermometer is necessary.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200°.
- Spray your largest cookie sheets.
- Pop the popcorn in the oil and set aside. I do this in two batches. Place in a very large bowl. (Plastic bowls work really well because the caramel won't stick; you could also spray the bowl with a bit of Pam).
- Over medium heat in a heavy saucepan, melt butter and stir in brown sugar, salt and syrup. Bring to a rolling boil.
- When it starts to boil, boil a full 5 minutes stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. (I used a plastic spatula and ended up sacrificing it)
- Remove from the heat and add the soda. Pour caramel directly on the popcorn and stir to coat completely.
- Pour popcorn onto the sheets and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool and break into pieces. Store in zip-top bags.

SUPER FAST, DELICIOUS, EASY, AND OOEY GOOEY CARAMEL CORN
This caramel corn whips up really fast and is the perfect consistency and taste. I received it from some good friends of my parents. It always goes over well when a bunch of friends or family get together. Even though its easy, my husband requests it often. We like light corn syrup, but if you prefer a stronger flavor, use dark.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, bring to a boil butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup.
- Place popped popcorn in large bowl and drizzle caramel mixture gradually over popcorn, while tossing and stirring to coat evenly.
- Make sure to scrape the bottom as the mixture settles.
- We love to serve it warm in all its ooey gooey goodness! Once you start, you can't stop.
Tips:
- Use fresh popcorn for the best results. Avoid using stale or store-bought popcorn, as it will not pop as well and will make the caramel corn less flavorful.
- Be careful not to burn the caramel. Keep a close eye on the mixture as it cooks and stir it constantly to prevent it from burning.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the caramel by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the caramel forms a hard ball, it is ready.
- When adding the popcorn to the caramel, work quickly so that the caramel doesn't harden before you have a chance to coat all of the popcorn.
- Spread the caramel corn out in a single layer on a baking sheet to cool. This will help to prevent the caramel corn from sticking together.
- Store the caramel corn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
