BEST EVER CARAMEL CORN



Best Ever Caramel Corn image

The best ever caramel corn recipe with PERFECT crispy outside, chewy center, and sweet 'n salty flavor.

Provided by Tiffany

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 bags popcorn (popped (un-popped kernels discarded), butter, plain, or kettle corn all work)
1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups brown sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste, (you can also leave out the sea salt and use salted butter instead))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Fill two large bowls with the popcorn and set out two large baking sheets.
  • In a large sauce pan on the stove, combine butter, sugar, and corn syrup over medium heat. Stir constantly and bring to a rapid boil. Continue to stir for 3-4 minutes, remove from heat and stir in vanilla then immediately stir in baking soda (be careful, mixture will bubble up!). Pour caramel over popcorn and stir with a rubber spatula until well-coated.
  • Place baking sheets in the preheated oven and cook for 15-60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. ***For chewier popcorn, cook only 15-30 minutes. For crispier popcorn, cool closer to 45-60 minutes. My favorite is about 35-40 minutes for a crispy start and a chewy finish!
  • Allow to cool, then serve or store in airtight container up to 3 days.

BEST SELLER CARAMEL CORN



Best Seller Caramel Corn image

When I used to regularly do Christmas craft shows, I always sold this packaged up in Christmas tins; it was a big seller for me. My SIL always hoped it wouldn't sell well, though, so she could eat what didn't sell! Based on a Bonnie Stern recipe.

Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon vanilla
8 cups popped popcorn (1/3 cup unpopped)

Steps:

  • When I make this recipe, it's the only time I haul out my hot-air popcorn popper; use 1/3 cup popcorn to achieve the 8 cups of popped corn.
  • Preheat oven to 275F; have ready a jelly roll pan.
  • Place popped corn in a very large bowl.
  • In a large, heavy saucepan over high heat, combine the sugar, butter and corn syrup and bring to a boil; let boil for two minutes, stirring continuously.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Note that it is IMPORTANT to use a large saucepan, as this mixture will bubble up.
  • Add baking soda and vanilla to sugar mixture and combine well.
  • Pour this mixture over popped corn and combine, then spread mixture out onto jelly roll pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes, stirring well every 10 minutes.
  • Let cool before eating.

THE EASIEST AND BEST CARAMEL CORN I'VE EVER MADE



The Easiest and Best Caramel Corn I've Ever Made image

Oh LORD, have mercy! LOL! This stuff is the kind-of snack you sit down in front of the tv with and you look down and it's all gone! The best part about this recipe is (other than the end product) the fact no candy thermometer is necessary.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 1/2 gallon bag

Number Of Ingredients 7

2/3 cup unpopped popcorn
2 tablespoons oil (for popping)
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°.
  • Spray your largest cookie sheets.
  • Pop the popcorn in the oil and set aside. I do this in two batches. Place in a very large bowl. (Plastic bowls work really well because the caramel won't stick; you could also spray the bowl with a bit of Pam).
  • Over medium heat in a heavy saucepan, melt butter and stir in brown sugar, salt and syrup. Bring to a rolling boil.
  • When it starts to boil, boil a full 5 minutes stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. (I used a plastic spatula and ended up sacrificing it)
  • Remove from the heat and add the soda. Pour caramel directly on the popcorn and stir to coat completely.
  • Pour popcorn onto the sheets and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool and break into pieces. Store in zip-top bags.

CARAMEL CORN



Caramel Corn image

This is always a huge success, no matter when I serve it. Kids and adults alike love it. Very addictive!

Provided by Marg CaymanDesigns

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (3 1/2 ounce) bags microwave popcorn, popped (I use light butter flavored)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 -2 cup nuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F Spray large baking sheet or roasting pan with cooking oil spray and set aside.
  • In a large sauce pan, melt butter over low heat. Add next 3 ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cover, reduce heat and gently boil without stirring for 4-5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and carefully add soda and vanilla (it will froth and foam). Mix real well.
  • Remove unpopped kernels from popcorn (see tip below). Spread popcorn (& nuts if using) out on pan. Pour caramel mixture over popcorn and mix well. Don't worry if every kernel isn't coated. It will get better distributed when you stir it while it is baking.
  • Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool completely. Break apart and store in tightly sealed container.
  • Tip: the easiest way to get the kernels out is to put all the popcorn in a large bowl. Shake it slightly so the kernels settle to the bottom of the bowl, then transfer the popcorn, handful by handful to the roasting pan, leaving the kernels behind.
