This caramel corn is great for Monday night football. The assortment of nuts makes it deluxe caramel corn. It takes a bit of time, but is more than worth it.

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 ½ cups unpopped popcorn
1 cup butter
2 cups packed brown sugar
½ cup light corn syrup

½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to a 4 quart saucepan, and heat over high heat. When oil is hot, add 1/2 cup of popping corn. Keep pan moving constantly. When corn stops popping, remove from heat. Place popped corn in oven to keep warm. Repeat until all corn has been popped. Set aside.

  • Stir baking soda, vanilla, peanuts, pecans, and almonds into brown sugar mixture. Quickly pour nut mixture over warm popcorn, and toss until well coated. Spread on greased cookie sheets.

I've tried many caramel corn recipes, but this one is by far the best. The caramel is so rich and flavorful, and the popcorn is perfectly coated. I also love that this recipe uses real butter, which gives it a more decadent flavor. Two thumbs up!

This caramel corn recipe was easy to follow and resulted in a delicious and addictive snack. The caramel coating was perfectly balanced, not too sweet and not too sticky. The popcorn was crispy and flavorful, and the nuts added a nice touch of crunch
