It was very easy to make and I did not have to change anything. I added a handfull of roasted peanuts to the popcorn before baking and it was wonderfully delicious. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

This caramel popcorn is delicious and very buttery. I plan to try this with nuts next. The caramel coats the popcorn well and the recipe is quite easy. I've used it with dark brown or light brown sugar as well as dark and light corn syrup. I prefer the light corn syrup. The dark corn syrup works just as well but will give you a darker end result. This has made a great gift for the holidays and a wonderful treat.

I did a test run of this recipe so I could include it in my Christmas Gift Baskets/planning schedule. My husband won't stay out of it. Really, really good caramel popcorn that is also really, really easy to make-thanks so much for posting! Di ;-)

It's in the oven as I speak... I used Golden Syrup instead of corn syrup and halved the recipe. BTW next antipodean that makes this - 250F is 120C. Lucky I checked that or I would have ended up with a sticky burnt mess!
