SUPER FAST, DELICIOUS, EASY, AND OOEY GOOEY CARAMEL CORN
This caramel corn whips up really fast and is the perfect consistency and taste. I received it from some good friends of my parents. It always goes over well when a bunch of friends or family get together. Even though its easy, my husband requests it often. We like light corn syrup, but if you prefer a stronger flavor, use dark.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, bring to a boil butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup.
- Place popped popcorn in large bowl and drizzle caramel mixture gradually over popcorn, while tossing and stirring to coat evenly.
- Make sure to scrape the bottom as the mixture settles.
- We love to serve it warm in all its ooey gooey goodness! Once you start, you can't stop.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh popcorn kernels. You can either pop your own popcorn or use store-bought popcorn.
- To make sure the caramel coating is smooth and creamy, use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the sugar mixture. The mixture should reach 240°F (115°C) before you add the butter and vanilla extract.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar mixture by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the mixture forms a hard ball, it is ready.
- Be careful not to overcook the caramel mixture. If you cook it for too long, it will become too hard and brittle.
- Once the caramel mixture is ready, pour it over the popcorn and stir until the popcorn is evenly coated. Work quickly, as the caramel will start to harden as it cools.
- Spread the caramel popcorn out on a baking sheet and let it cool completely. Once the popcorn is cool, you can break it into pieces and enjoy it.
Conclusion:
Caramel popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for parties, movie nights, or any other occasion.
