Caramel Popcorn

I used half coconut oil and half butter... And also lined pans with parchment paper to make easy cleanup... Excellent and will definitely make again

I did a trial run of this recipe to use for Christmas gifts, and my kids ate it faster than I could bag it! It is really simple to make and the results are fabulous. I added pecans instead of peanuts, and everyone was digging for the carmelized pecans. I do recommend getting a thin layer of popcorn on the pan when it goes into the oven.

My roomate and I threw a Halloween party...she went out and bought a zillion of individually wrapped carmel candies to make carmel popcorn. What a waste! Being a vegan, I used this recipe and substituted margarine for butter. Yum. Most people told me (away from my roomate's ears) that mine was much better :-) P.S. Very sticky stuff...if you have any dental appliance, I don't recommend this.

Thank you Carol :) We loved this recipe & can't wait to see mom's reaction when she tastes it. Stirring constantly, I brought the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup & salt (1 teaspoon) mixture to a boil. Then I let it boil untouched for about 4-5 minutes. Off the heat I added the baking soda & vanilla. And then poured it over the popped corn & mixed like crazy! I used 2 greased baking sheets & every 15 minutes I tossed & mixed the popcorn up. It was very simple to make & an easy clean up (use vegetable spray & there is very little stick). I will try it again with maple syrup (shame on me, I live in maple syrup country & have run out!)

My husband and I loved this recipe. I sent this recipe to a friend and she loved it too. It is a great gift idea and I intend to make it again and again...

Made this for some late night wedding favors, since my groom wanted popcorn in his lounge. Amazing, he was so pleased :) I would recommend laying your popcorn on the cookie sheet and slowly drizzle the carmel over to get an even coat. I might try the paper bag idea, spraying the bag with a little oil. I also wonder how long it'll last with out getting soft or stale (How far ahead can it be made for gifts/favor, I'll let you know when I find out.)

We loved this. I even messed up a bit. Forgot to add the vanilla, salt and soda before pouring over the popcorn. Sprinkled it in while DD stirred. Was worried I had ruined it. Put in the oven and we just could not wait. We ended removing it from them oven after about 20 minutes. Was delicious. I can stop looking for a good caramel corn now. Thanks.

Great caramel corn recipie, although I halved the ingredients with the same amount of popcorn to make it not so fattening. Still tasted really good.

This tasted delicious! I recommend using a paper grocery sack to do the mixing. Just put the popcorn in the bag, and pour the caramel in, close the bag and shake. It makes cleaning up very easy.

My brother makes this for Christmas every year! It is a hit. This year he gave big cans of it out and refilled them when the popcorn was gone. We can't wait till next December. Thank you Mr. C

Just what I was looking for. The directions were very clear and easy to follow. I substituted half white sugar (because I didn't have much brown left) and only baked for 20 minutes. YUMMY! Thanks for posting, Carol!

How I didn't eat all this delicious popcorn whenever I pulled it out of the oven to stir it, I'll never know. What I do know is...this is the yummiest caramel popcorn, ever!! I would add that I coated my spoons with cooking spray when tossing, so it wouldn't stick. I also waited until it cooled and drizzled melted chocolate all over, let that cool and then broke it up...just like Moose Munch!! Make this recipe and you won't be dissapointed!!

This is simple and the very best recipe for caramel popcorn, i used it with the maple syrup since i always have that on hand, i did add 1 tsp. of butter flavor because i love that extra buttery taste! This is going to be added to my "traditions" baking for the holiday season, and of course through out the year when i get that sweet tooth! Thanks for sharing this recipe!!

Perfect is all I can say! I followed the directions exactly as listed and perfection was the result. The only thing I would change is to not make too much popcorn because it doesn't coat it as well. I made over 2 gallons and my popcorn doesn't look as evenly coated as in Marsha D.'s photo. I think that I would use about 1 1/2 gallons next time. And there will be a next time!! :)Thanks!!

Oh My GOODNESS!!! This stuff rocks! It take a little time and it's hard to be patient for it to cook (once you know how awesome it tastes!) but it's SO worth it! We had a movie night with a small group and had to bring our favorite popcorn, I tried this one (tried margarine one time, nope) for the family first. Then made again and again for a birthday, my "trials" were 4 different batches! When I finally made it for the movie night it was gone lickety split! The other "caramel popcorn" made in the micro, was hardly touched. I'll keep this forever!

I used corn syrup and added the peanuts. I'm giving these a 4 though, I don't really like it. It's too buttery for my taste but I brought it to the office and everyone liked it. Also, fyi to everyone popping their own corn: 1 gallon is about 16 cups of popped corn. I only had 12 cups so I extra caramel which I dropped by the teaspoon onto Pam-sprayed plastic wrap. It set and was a nice soft-chew caramel. This is a high sugar and high fat recipe so I don't think I'll try it again without reducing the butter to 1/2 or 3/4 c butter.

I learned of this recipe from my midwestern sister. The midwestern Wal-marts carry a bag of Puff Hulless Popcorn that she says is great. She also uses the toffee coated peanuts and says it makes a fabulous treat. I'm on my way out to find the ingredients so I can make it for our SuperBowl Party! I told her about the many reviewers who liked the maple syrup rather than the corn syrup; she's going to try that next time (she's not into computer). Thanks Carol for posting!
