Provided by Janelle

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 bags Pop Secret homestyle butter microwave popcorn
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup Karo light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Pop popcorn according to package directions.
  • Have two bowls ready.
  • Pour popcorn in one bowl.
  • Gently Shake the bowl to get the seeds to the bottom of the bowl.
  • Remove popcorn slowly into the second bowl leaving seeds in the 1st bowl.
  • Toss seeds. Repeat with the second and third bag.
  • Prepare 2 baking sheets with a baking mat or parchment paper.
  • Preheat oven to 250*F
  • In a pot, add butter and cook over medium heat until melted.
  • Add brown sugar, corn syrup and salt.
  • Bring to a boil and cook for an additional 4 minutes, stirring regularly so caramel doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan.
  • After 4 minutes, turn off the heat and remove the pan from heat.
  • Add vanilla extract and be prepared for the mixture to spit at you. Stir to incorporate.
  • Add baking soda and stir. Mixture will become fluffy and increase in volume.
  • Pour caramel mixture over your prepared popcorn.
  • Stir well, careful not to touch the caramel mixture to your skin or it will burn you.
  • Spread caramel corn on baking sheets, dividing mixture between the two sheets.
  • Evenly space the racks in your oven so you can get both in there at the same time, one on top and one on bottom.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove caramel corn, and stir. Place back in oven on the opposite oven shelf.
  • Repeat 15 minute baking and stirring intervals until caramel corn has been baked 2 times total.
  • Remove from the oven, stir and let cool.
  • I like to stir again after caramel corn has been out of the oven for 5 minutes to prevent clumping.
  • Serve once cool.

Tips:

  • Use fresh popcorn. Stale popcorn will not yield the best results.
  • Make sure the corn syrup is hot. This will help it to coat the popcorn evenly.
  • Don't overcook the caramel. It should be thick and golden, but not hard.
  • Work quickly when adding the caramel to the popcorn. The caramel will start to harden quickly, so you need to work quickly to coat all of the popcorn.
  • Use a large bowl to mix the popcorn and caramel. This will help to prevent the popcorn from sticking together.
  • Let the caramel corn cool completely before breaking it into pieces. This will help to prevent it from sticking to your hands.
  • Store the caramel corn in an airtight container at room temperature. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Caramel corn is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and crunchy snack that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a treat to make, give caramel corn a try. You won't be disappointed!
