I couldn't find a recipe for caramel popcorn that was just right. I've tried a bunch of different recipes, some had good flavor, but not a great color, some had great texture, but not great flavor. I decided to cobble-together the best parts of each recipe. This is the result, my ultimate caramel popcorn, yummy caramel popcorn that has great flavor, good color, and a nice crisp texture. Enjoy!

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 quarts popped popcorn
1/2 cup salted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons molasses
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Set your oven to 200 degrees. Spray a large cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray, and set aside. Also spray a large (very large works best) metal or ceramic mixing bowl with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Pour the popcorn into the mixing bowl you just sprayed, and put it in the oven to warm. Warming the bowl and the popcorn up beforehand helps with getting an even coating with the caramel when stirring it into the popcorn later.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the molasses, corn syrup, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Once the mixture starts bubbling, set a timer and let it cook for 4 minutes, stirring occassionally.
  • Once the 4 minutes is up, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and baking soda. The mixture will foam and lighten up. Stir until blended.
  • Pull the mixing bowl with the popcorn out of the oven. Slowly stir the caramel into the popcorn. I find a rubber spatula works best for this. Carefully keep stirring until the popcorn is evenly coated. Do be careful, the caramel is really hot! At this point, you can stir in any add-ins you might like, sprinkles, nuts, etc.
  • Pour onto the greased cookie sheet and spread out evenly. Bake for 1 hour at 200 degrees, carefully stirring every 15 minutes.
  • Once done, pour back into a large mixing bowl. The caramel popcorn will still be stightly tacky. Stir the caramel corn for about 5 minutes or so while it cools, to break up large clumps.

Crispy Caramel Popcorn:

  • Use fresh popcorn kernels. Older kernels may not pop properly, resulting in a lower yield of popcorn.
  • Use the right amount of oil. Popcorn kernels need a little oil to help them pop, but too much oil can make the popcorn greasy.
  • Heat the oil to the right temperature. The oil should be hot enough to cause the popcorn kernels to pop, but not so hot that they burn.
  • Shake the popcorn pan frequently. This helps to ensure that the popcorn kernels pop evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the popcorn pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the popcorn kernels will not pop properly.
  • Remove the popcorn from the heat as soon as it is finished popping. This will prevent the popcorn from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Add your desired toppings. Caramel, melted chocolate, and peanuts are all popular toppings for popcorn.
  • Enjoy! Popcorn is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed in many different ways.

Conclusion:

Crispy caramel popcorn 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 salty treat that everyone will love. Whether you enjoy it as a movie-night, party favor, or afternoon pick-me-up, this recipe is sure to become a favorite. So, gather your ingredients, follow the simple instructions, and enjoy the sweet and crunchy goodness of crispy caramel popcorn!
