Steps:
- Pop the popcorn. I like to use a hot-air popper but you can pop it any way you like.
- To make the caramel: Place the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a 2-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until light golden brown. We use a large pan so that there will be room to add the popcorn. Use a wooden spoon to stir the popcorn into the caramel until it is evenly coated. Pour the caramelized popcorn onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and allow it to cool. When cool, use your hands to break up any clumps.
- Place the cool popcorn in a large bowl. Use a ladle to drizzle the chocolate over the popcorn, stirring with a wooden spoon as you go. Keep adding chocolate until the popcorn is evenly coated. Pour the chocolate-coated popcorn onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and allow it to cool. When it is cool, place it in decorative bags to give as gifts.
- Tip: You can also use milk chocolate and/or white chocolate to coat the popcorn. The process is always the same.
- Be careful when you work with the caramel. It is very hot and can burn! As always, when working with caramel, have a bowl of ice-cold water next to you in case you get caramel on your hands.

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL-NUT POPCORN
I found this recipe on another recipe website last year, but I can't remember which one. I gave these out for Christmas and everyone loved them. I used to buy popcorn from my Son when he was in school and they would be selling different flavors of popcorn to raise money for their school. They would sell Caramel Popcorn, Chocolate Popcorn similar to this recipe, Caramel Popcorn with nuts, the possibilities are endless. The popcorn came in a plastic bag in decorative tins with tight lids. Definately a great gift idea or part of a fund raiser for any occassion.

Steps:
- Spread popcorn in 2 large, deep roasting pans.
- Bring sugar, corn syrups and water to boil in 4-quart saucepan. Add butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until a candy thermometer registers 300 degrees F to 310 degrees F. When mixture forms hard, brittle threads, it's ready. Remove from heat. Carefully stir in salt, baking soda and vanilla extract. Because the candy is very hot, the vanilla extract will spatter and the mixture will foam. Pour over popcorn and stir to coat.
- Let cool. Store airtight.
- Up to 2 days before giving, break up large chunks, spread coated popcorn on two cookie sheets.
- Melt chocolate chips according to package directions. Drizzle over popcorn and, before chocolate hardens, sprinkle with almonds. Let stand at room temperature until chocolate hardens.

EASY CHOCOLATE-CARAMEL POPCORN
I found this recipe on the back of a bag of Kraft Caramels. It's the perfect party snack-everyone gobbles it up! I've discovered that 12 cups of popcorn is one microwave bag, and I've also tried it with cashews instead of peanuts. Yum!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- Place the caramels, butter, and water in a heavy saucepan. Cook on low heat until the caramels are completely melted, stirring frequently.
- Combine the popcorn and peanuts in a large bowl. Make sure to remove all unpopped kernels. Drizzle with the caramel mixture; toss to evenly coat. Spread onto a large greased baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes, stirring after 10. Sprinkle with chocolate; toss using two spoons until well mixed. Spread onto a sheet of waxed paper; cool completely.
- Break apart until small clusters or individual pieces. Store in a tightly covered container at room temperature for up to one week.
Tips:
- Choose the right popcorn kernels. Not all popcorn kernels are created equal. For the best results, use a variety of popcorn kernels that are specifically designed for popping.
- Use the right amount of oil. Too much oil will make the popcorn greasy, while too little oil will make it dry. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 tablespoon of oil for every 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat. This will help the popcorn kernels pop quickly and evenly.
- Add the popcorn kernels to the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the popcorn kernels in a single layer.
- Cover the pot and shake it frequently. This will help the popcorn kernels pop evenly.
- Remove the popcorn from the heat when it is done popping. Once the popping slows to a crawl, remove the popcorn from the heat.
- Season the popcorn to taste. You can season the popcorn with a variety of toppings, such as salt, butter, caramel, or chocolate.
- Enjoy! Popcorn is a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
