THE EASIEST AND BEST CARAMEL CORN I'VE EVER MADE



The Easiest and Best Caramel Corn I've Ever Made image

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.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 1/2 gallon bag

Number Of Ingredients 7

2/3 cup unpopped popcorn
2 tablespoons oil (for popping)
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon baking soda

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.

Provided by ANITALOUISE

Categories     Desserts     Candy Recipes     Popcorn Candy Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 28

Number Of Ingredients 8

7 quarts plain popped popcorn
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
2 cups brown sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup margarine
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

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.

Tips:

  • To make perfect caramel corn, use fresh popcorn kernels. Avoid using pre-popped popcorn, as it will not have the same flavor and texture.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to pop the popcorn. This will help to ensure that all of the kernels pop evenly.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat before adding the popcorn kernels. This will help to prevent the popcorn from burning.
  • Shake the pot or Dutch oven constantly while the popcorn is popping. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning.
  • Once the popping slows down to a few seconds between pops, remove the pot or Dutch oven from the heat and pour the popcorn onto a large baking sheet.
  • While the popcorn is still hot, drizzle it with melted butter and caramel sauce. Use a spatula to toss the popcorn to evenly coat it.
  • Spread the popcorn out on the baking sheet and allow it to cool completely before breaking it into pieces.

Conclusion:

Caramel corn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for parties, picnics, or movie nights. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious caramel corn that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet and salty snack, give caramel corn a try. You won't be disappointed!
