The Clockmaker's Caramel Coated Popcorn (A Haunted Recipe)

very yummy. i halfed the recipe, cooking the caramel mixture in the microwave instead of the stove top. takes about 2 minutes. i used 8 cups of popcorn. it was not too sticky and not to hard, just right! this is a keepr. i couldn't even wait for it to cool before digging in. p.s. try putting it in a big brown bag after it has all been stirred together and then microwaving for 1 1/2 minutes. It makes each kernel indiviually caramelized and not sticky at all.

This is an amazing recipe, I have made it for myself and my siblings and it's so good! I definately like cruncy caramel popcorn so I baked it for an hour at 250 degrees and it was delicious! Another thing me and my little sibling have done is add peanuts when it's sticky and then roll in popcorn balls, anyway you do it's just yummy!

Mmm. This was just the type of caramel popcorn I was craving! I used 10 cups of popcorn - next time I think I'll use between 12 and 15. It makes a very sticky caramel corn with only 10 cups! 12/09 Made this again with about 14 cups of popcorn and it was perfect - just sticky enough to make popcorn balls with. (I should mention I used hard margarine both times I've made this.)

My daughter made this after gleaning tips from the other reviews. It is INCREDIBLE!! She did one stick of margarine, one stick of butter, doubled the popcorn amount, and spread the mixture onto two greased cookie sheets to cook at 250 for 30 minutes, stirring 1/2 way through. Wonderful! We bagged it up in goodie bags for our neighbors for a happier Halloween. Thanks for a keeper!

Excellent caramel popcorn! I like my caramel popcorn sticky, so it perfectly suited to my tastes. My husband likes it more crunchy, so I put half the popcorn in the oven for a half hour.

This popcorn is very tasty. Great buttery carmel flavor. I would recommend spraying the bowl you mix it in with a nonstick cooking spray first. I was surprised at how quick and easy it was.

One must work fast to coat the popcorn as it hardens really fast. Nice popcorn though.

This is my first attempt at making caramel popcorn, and I found it to be very easy. I did use butter instead of margarine, added cashew pieces, and roasted in the oven for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes. And as a matter of fact, my clock did some strange things...oh, wait. This is the end of daylight savings time -- we "fell" back one hour today. Ah, well. For a moment I was left wondering. I was testing the recipe in anticipation of using it for Christmas gifts for neighbors and co-workers, along with cinnamon popcorn and peppermint, candy-coated popcorn. This will definitely be in the gift basket. Truly a winner!

Yummy, sticky, gooey! Perfect! Put part of it in the oven for 1/2 hour as suggested to give as gifts. Just as good! And I didn't even mind when all the clocks stop...

This is the best caramel popcorn that me family and I have ever eaten! My boys literally inhaled the stuff!! I made it tonight for our family's game night, but it didn't even make it to the fourth round of Books and Runs. Thanks SPB.

This is a wonderfully flavored caramel popcorn recipe, but a mention of a couple things. I read all the reviews and agree, it needs to go into the oven (250F. for 30 min, stirring once) as some bites are 'jawbreaking' where there is a lot of caramel. The recipe does make a large amount of caramel, so we would recommend 15-20 cups of popcorn (thereby perhaps no need to bake), and finally a note to self: Add more salt or some salted peanuts or cashews next time and try making this using splenda. Our clock did not stop, but we didn't stop eating the popcorn either! Thanks for sharing the recipe. :) ps: Chef #671577, as directed, remove from heat 'before' adding the baking soda. ;)

This was a great recipe. My daughter and I enjoyed making it. Great taste & easy to make. I doubled the popcorn & had more than enough to coat it. Thanks for the tip Chef #991286. I was wondering how to keep it from being sticky. I'll try that next time. I'd also suggest when making the caramel to use a larger pan than you think you need. If its too small it will bubble over when you add the baking soda. We had a close call. Thanks for the great recipe! It was gone in 2 days!

Okay so I have the same exact recipe in a cookbook here. It is absolutely delicious. Here are some tricks that are in my recipe and that I've come across when I make it. Make sure you do use medium heat or else the carmel will burn. If you want it more melt in your mouth than sticky, bake the carmel corn at 250 for 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes. Then definitely store in an air tight container to keep it from sticking (that is if there are any leftovers :)

Delicious and so easy! I used butter instead of margarine and cut the recipe in half for all ingredients except the popcorn. It still turned out fabulous and super sweet. I think next time I will cut the recipe down to 1/4 for everything but the popcorn, making it just slightly sweet. This stuff is so good we almost ate it all in one sitting. I guess I'd feel better about eating it all if I knew I wasn't eating a whole stick of butter and 1 cup of sugar!!

I didn't realize I hadn't rated this yet. GREAT recipe! I have made this every year for the past 3 years in the Fall. People start asking for my 'homemade cracker jacks' about September, and it's all because of this recipe. I make popcorn the 'old fashioned' way on top of the stove and go from there. A really great recipe, and it makes a great gift!

Perfect caramel! I halved the recipe and put some in the oven to see the difference. Still waiting. In the meantime, the 'gooey' version is actually a very good consistency and tastes fantastic! *update* The kids prefered the oven batch, especially when it comes to braces; came out crisp and crunchy after 30 min at 250 and one stir. Thanks for sharing. I'll probably use this caramel for other things too!
