THE EASIEST AND BEST CARAMEL CORN I'VE EVER MADE

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.

BEST EVER CARAMEL CORN

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.

EASY HOMEMADE CARAMEL CORN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. To know when the pan is hot enough, add 3-4 kernels of popcorn. When they pop, the pan is hot enough. Remove the popped kernels and add the remaining ½ cup of kernels to the pan.
• Shake the pan or stir kernels so that they are evenly spread out in pan.
• Cover with a lid, leaving a small opening for steam to escape. Once the popcorn starts popping vigorously, shake the pot gently once.
• Remove from heat when the popping stops. You should be able to count to 3 between pops.
• Put the freshly popped popcorn into the baking pan. Be sure there are no unpopped kernels. (NOTE 3)
• Place in oven to stay warm while making the caramel.
• Combine the butter, corn syrup, and brown sugar in a pan and heat over low heat until the butter is dissolved.
• After the mixture is melted, turn the heat to medium and let simmer for 3-4 minutes until it reaches 255° F.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the salt and vanilla.
• Stir in the baking soda until it is well combined.
• Drizzle on top of the popcorn immediately and stir gently, trying to coat as much of the popcorn as possible.
• Bake for 45 minutes, stirring the popcorn every 15 minutes.
• Gently break apart large clusters, if desired.
• Store in an air tight container for 2-3 weeks.

BEST CARAMEL CORN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees
• Lightly butter 2 large cookie sheets
• Pop the popcorn in oil (I use light olive oil) and pour in a very large mixing bowl.
• Add the nuts to the popcorn and mix.
• In a tall 5 or 6 quart saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
• Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and salt.
• Bring to a boil - stirring constantly.
• Boil for 4 minutes without stirring. The remove from heat and add the soda and vanilla. When you add the soda and vanilla it bubbles up a bit so be very careful not to get burned. Pour the caramel mixture slowly all over the popcorn - mixing it well to cover all of the popcorn and nuts.
• Lay the caramel coated popcorn/nuts mixture on the 2 large cookie sheets.
• Bake for 1 hour - turning over every 15 minutes. The caramel sauce melts a bit in the oven so turning the popcorn helps to coat each piece and makes sure that it bakes evenly.
• Remove from oven and cool completely before breaking into pieces.
• The popcorn will still be a little wet when you remove it from the oven. It will harden and become crunchy as it cools.
