CARAMEL POPCORN (NOT TOO SWEET OR STICKY)
I think this is a great caramel popcorn recipe, and I have tried quite a few! They were either too sticky or too sweet. This one is neither. The caramel dries well and doesn't stick to your fingers, and the sweetness is just right. I use spanish peanuts in this, but you could use other kinds of nuts, too. Here I was searching for the perfect caramel corn recipe, when all the while it was right in my recipe box! This is done in the microwave, and is very simple to make.

STICKY POPCORN
This wonderful candy popcorn is from Annette B. in my church cookbook. We prefer it made with cashews and Reese's pieces as they have the perfect fall colors. Use seasonally colored M&M's for other holidays. It doesn't get hard like some popcorn recipes and is best eaten the day it is made. This makes lots and is great to give away.

Steps:
- In a very large microwaveable bowl (mine holds 32 cups) combine popcorn, marshmallows, and nuts; set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, bring salt, butter, sugar, and corn syrup to a boil for 3 minutes; stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla (careful, it boils up a bit).
- Pour over popcorn mixture, stir till popcorn is well coated and marshmallows are melted (microwave if necessary in 30 second intervals) then add candy pieces.
- Eat as is or make into popcorn balls.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Corn Kernels: Use non-GMO popcorn kernels for the best results. Fresh kernels produce fluffier popcorn.
- Use the Right Oil: Use high-heat oil like canola, grapeseed, or coconut oil. Avoid olive oil as it has a low smoke point.
- Measure Accurately: Use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients for precise results. A 1/4 cup of popcorn kernels typically makes about 2-3 cups of popped popcorn.
- Use a Large Pot: Choose a pot that is at least 3 quarts in size. This allows the popcorn to expand properly without overcrowding.
- Keep the Lid Ajar: Leave the lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape and prevent soggy popcorn.
- Shake the Pot: Shake the pot constantly while the popcorn is popping. This helps distribute the heat evenly and prevents burning.
- Listen for the Popping: Once the popping slows down to a few seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat.
- Season Immediately: Add your desired seasonings (salt, spices, etc.) immediately after popping while the popcorn is still hot. This ensures that the seasonings adhere well.
- Store Properly: Store leftover popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the popcorn in freezer-safe bags for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
With these tips and tricks, you can easily make perfect sticky popcorn at home. Experiment with different seasonings and toppings to create a variety of delicious snacks. Enjoy your homemade sticky popcorn as a movie night treat, party snack, or anytime you crave a sweet and crunchy treat. Remember to choose high-quality ingredients, use the right equipment, and follow the steps carefully to achieve the best results. Happy popping!
