Description

This super easy and addictive Crispy Caramel Popcorn recipe, inspired by Southern Living, delivers a perfect sweet and fast treat. Learn how to make this homemade, perfectly crunchy caramel corn that's ideal for snacking or sharing.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup butter or margarine, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp valilla extract, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 2 (3 ounce) light butter microwave popcorn, popped

Method

Stir together first 5 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove hot caramel from heat, and stir in baking soda.

Place half of the popcorn in a lightly greased roasting pan and half in another. (I just use one cause I’m lazy.) Pour hot caramel evenly over popcorn mixture; stir well with a lightly greased spatula.

Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on wax paper to cool, breaking apart large clumps as popcorn cools.

I have reduced the baking time in half and sill had excellent results.

It’s fast and really easy caramel popcorn.
