CINNAMON-SUGAR POPCORN

I first tried this when I was visiting my sister in West Virginia. After trying it, I loved it, however I neglected to ask her for the recipe. 10 years later, I have it, and I still love it! The kids can help make it if you use an air popper (which I did to reduce fat and calories...there's enough in the butter!) I used my deep dish lasagna pan to cook it in the oven. You can use a roasting pan or any other large, deep dish pan. It makes a lot, so either invite your friends or store it in an airtight container for later.

HOMEMADE CARAMEL POPCORN RECIPE



Homemade Caramel Popcorn Recipe image

Sweet and gooey, this homemade caramel popcorn recipe is an old family favorite.

Provided by Momma Cyd

Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound brown sugar
1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup karo syrup (light corn syrup)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup unpopped popcorn

Steps:

  • Pop your popcorn in an air popper machine. My machine only allows 1/2 cup of kernels at a time so I had two separate batches that I had to pop.
  • Cook the brown sugar, Karo syrup, and 1/2 cup of butter over the stove on medium high heat and bring to a boil.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk. Stir continually for about 3 to 4 minutes until it gets to the soft ball stage (it clings together when you drop some in cold water). It will burn if you cook it too long, so make sure you are stirring continuously and watch it closely.
  • When it is finished cooking, take your pan off the stove and pour the caramel sauce over your air popped popcorn. Mix until all the popcorn is completely coated. You will need a very large bowl to mix it all together.

Tips:

  • Choose the right popcorn kernels: Use fresh, high-quality popcorn kernels for the best flavor and texture. Avoid old or stale kernels, as they may not pop properly.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven: A large pot or Dutch oven will give the popcorn plenty of room to pop and expand. This will help to prevent the popcorn from burning or sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Add oil and salt: Add a small amount of oil and salt to the pot before adding the popcorn kernels. This will help to prevent the popcorn from sticking to the pot and will also add flavor.
  • Cover the pot and shake it: Cover the pot with a lid and shake it vigorously for a few minutes. This will help to distribute the oil and salt evenly and will also help to pop the popcorn kernels.
  • Remove the pot from the heat: Once the popcorn starts to pop, remove the pot from the heat. Continue shaking the pot for a few seconds until the popping stops.
  • Transfer the popcorn to a bowl: Transfer the popped popcorn to a large bowl. Add your desired toppings, such as cinnamon, caramel, or chocolate.
  • Enjoy! Serve the popcorn immediately and enjoy!

Conclusion:

Cinnamon caramel popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and savory treat that the whole family will love. Whether you are looking for a quick snack or a festive treat for a party, cinnamon caramel popcorn is sure to please.
