Super Fast, Delicious, Easy, and Ooey Gooey Caramel Corn image

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.

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:

  • Use fresh popcorn kernels. Fresh kernels will pop better and result in a more flavorful popcorn.
  • Don't overcrowd the popcorn maker. If you overcrowd the maker, the popcorn will not pop evenly and you will end up with unpopped kernels.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven for making caramel. This will give you plenty of room to stir the caramel and prevent it from burning.
  • Use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the caramel. This will help you to ensure that the caramel is cooked to the correct temperature.
  • Don't overcook the caramel. Overcooked caramel will be hard and brittle.
  • Work quickly when adding the caramel to the popcorn. The caramel will start to harden as it cools, so you need to work quickly to coat the popcorn evenly.
  • Spread the caramel popcorn out on a baking sheet to cool. This will help to prevent the popcorn from clumping together.

Conclusion:

Gooey caramel popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for parties, movie nights, or any other occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make this delicious treat that everyone will love.
