Time 1h41m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (3.25 ounce) packages butter-flavored microwave popcorn
2 cups dry-roasted peanuts
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup margarine
½ cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 (14 ounce) bag chocolate almond bark, broken into pieces

Steps:

  • Place 1 bag popcorn in the microwave; cook on high until popping begins to slow down, about 2 1/2 minutes. Repeat with remaining bags. Open bags carefully; divide popcorn between 2 shallow baking dishes. Mix in peanuts.
  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Combine brown sugar, margarine, corn syrup, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring enough to blend. Simmer, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat; mix in vanilla extract and baking soda until mixture is light and foamy.
  • Pour brown sugar mixture over the popcorn-peanut mixture; stir to coat.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, stirring every 25 minutes, until a cooled piece of popcorn is crunchy, about 1 hour.
  • Line a flat work surface with waxed paper. Pour popcorn onto the waxed paper. Break up any large clusters.
  • Melt chocolate almond bark in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes. Pour into a resealable plastic bag; snip off 1 corner. Drizzle melted chocolate over popcorn. Let popcorn cool completely.

Chocolate Drizzled Caramel Corn image

This is so yummy! My girlfriend gave me the recipe and it sat in my cupboard for awhile and we tried it on a whim one year. Since then we included small bags of this is our Christmas gift baskets and people always rave about it. Sometimes we leave out the peanuts out and some times we leave the chocolate off. The popcorn without the chocolate is fabulous!

Categories     Candy

Time 1h10m

Yield 7 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
7 quarts popped corn
1 cup Hershey's semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 large marshmallows, cut in quarters
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons warm water
1 cup peanuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare Caramel Corn:.
  • Combine brown sugar, butter, syrup and salt in a saucepan.
  • Boil 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add the baking soda and vanilla.
  • Stir well and then pour over popped corn in a large roaster.
  • If you have to put into two large tinfoil buttered roasters, it will be easier to stir in two pans.
  • Bake in oven at 250 degrees for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
  • Pour onto waxed paper and cool.
  • Break up into pieces.
  • Chocolate Coating:.
  • Melt chips, marshmallows, butter and water for about four minutes in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
  • You can do this on the stove top too, just melt until very smooth.
  • Place the cooled caramel corn and peanuts, if using, in a large roasting pan or on a large cookie sheet, single layer, and drizzle chocolate over lightly. Using a baggy with the corner snipped off, will help drizzling the coating over top.

Tips:

  • Use fresh popcorn: Stale popcorn will not produce the best results. If you are using store-bought popcorn, make sure it is fresh and has not been sitting on the shelf for too long.
  • Make sure the caramel is cooked to the right temperature: If the caramel is not cooked to the right temperature, it will not set properly and will be too runny or too hard. Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the caramel reaches the correct temperature.
  • Be careful when adding the caramel to the popcorn: The caramel is very hot, so be careful not to burn yourself. Add the caramel slowly and stir constantly to ensure that it is evenly distributed.
  • Let the caramel corn cool completely before serving: This will allow the caramel to set and harden, making it easier to eat.
  • Store the caramel corn in an airtight container: This will help to keep it fresh and prevent it from becoming stale.

Conclusion:

Chocolate Drizzled Caramel Corn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover popcorn and it is also a fun and festive treat to make with kids. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying snack that everyone will love.
