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.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 c packed brown sugar
1/2 c butter
1/4 c light corn syrup
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
6-8 c freshly popped popcorn

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
  • 2. Put popped popcorn in very large bowl or deep kettle.
  • 3. In large saucepan over med high heat bring to boil: sugar, butter and corn syrup. Once boiling, boil for 2 minutes stirring continuously.
  • 4. Remove from heat. Add baking soda, cinnamon, vanilla and mix well.
  • 5. Pour mixture over popcorn, mix gently. Spread over 2 cookie sheets, bake for 30 minutes stirring 1/2 way through. Let cool and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh popcorn. Stale popcorn will not coat well with caramel and will be tough.
  • Make sure the sugar is completely dissolved before adding the butter. If the sugar is not dissolved, it will crystallize and the caramel will be grainy.
  • Cook the caramel over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the caramel will burn.
  • Stir the caramel constantly. This will help prevent the caramel from burning and will also help it to thicken evenly.
  • Add the baking soda only after the caramel has thickened. Adding the baking soda too early will cause the caramel to foam up and overflow.
  • Pour the caramel over the popcorn as soon as it is ready. The caramel will harden quickly, so it is important to work quickly.
  • Spread the caramel corn out on a baking sheet to cool. This will help the caramel to harden evenly.
  • Break the caramel corn into pieces before serving. This will make it easier to eat.

Conclusion:

Caramel corn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for parties, potlucks, and movie nights. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of caramel corn that is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a sweet and salty snack, give caramel corn a try!
