BEST EVER CARAMEL CORN



Best Ever Caramel Corn image

The best ever caramel corn recipe with PERFECT crispy outside, chewy center, and sweet 'n salty flavor.

Provided by Tiffany

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 bags popcorn (popped (un-popped kernels discarded), butter, plain, or kettle corn all work)
1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups brown sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste, (you can also leave out the sea salt and use salted butter instead))

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.

PUFFED CARAMEL CORN



Puffed Caramel Corn image

Puffed corn can be found in the potato chip aisle of your grocery store. This is a great caramel corn without hulls or unpopped kernels. Warning: you need to make a double batch of this because it doesn't last long, at least not in my house. Very addicting. Love it!

Categories     Desserts     Candy Recipes     Popcorn Candy Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 28

Number Of Ingredients 8

7 quarts plain popped popcorn
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
2 cups brown sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup margarine
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place the popped popcorn into two shallow greased baking pans. You may use roasting pans, jelly roll pans, or disposable roasting pans. Add the peanuts to the popped corn if using. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, margarine and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring enough to blend. Once the mixture begins to boil, boil for 5 minutes while stirring constantly.
  • Remove from the heat, and stir in the baking soda and vanilla. The mixture will be light and foamy. Immediately pour over the popcorn in the pans, and stir to coat. Don't worry too much at this point about getting all of the corn coated.
  • Bake for 1 hour, removing the pans, and giving them each a good stir every 15 minutes. Line the counter top with waxed paper. Dump the corn out onto the waxed paper and separate the pieces. Allow to cool completely, then store in airtight containers or resealable bags.

CARAMEL CORN



Caramel Corn image

Homemade Caramel Corn has never been easier! It's an incredibly addictive snack that is sweet, crunchy, and so easy to make!

Provided by Janelle

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 bags Pop Secret homestyle butter microwave popcorn
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup Karo light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Pop popcorn according to package directions.
  • Have two bowls ready.
  • Pour popcorn in one bowl.
  • Gently Shake the bowl to get the seeds to the bottom of the bowl.
  • Remove popcorn slowly into the second bowl leaving seeds in the 1st bowl.
  • Toss seeds. Repeat with the second and third bag.
  • Prepare 2 baking sheets with a baking mat or parchment paper.
  • Preheat oven to 250*F
  • In a pot, add butter and cook over medium heat until melted.
  • Add brown sugar, corn syrup and salt.
  • Bring to a boil and cook for an additional 4 minutes, stirring regularly so caramel doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan.
  • After 4 minutes, turn off the heat and remove the pan from heat.
  • Add vanilla extract and be prepared for the mixture to spit at you. Stir to incorporate.
  • Add baking soda and stir. Mixture will become fluffy and increase in volume.
  • Pour caramel mixture over your prepared popcorn.
  • Stir well, careful not to touch the caramel mixture to your skin or it will burn you.
  • Spread caramel corn on baking sheets, dividing mixture between the two sheets.
  • Evenly space the racks in your oven so you can get both in there at the same time, one on top and one on bottom.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove caramel corn, and stir. Place back in oven on the opposite oven shelf.
  • Repeat 15 minute baking and stirring intervals until caramel corn has been baked 2 times total.
  • Remove from the oven, stir and let cool.
  • I like to stir again after caramel corn has been out of the oven for 5 minutes to prevent clumping.
  • Serve once cool.

Tips:

  • Prep your popcorn: Use fresh, popped popcorn for the best results. Avoid using popcorn that is stale or has been sitting around for a while.
  • Use the right caramel: Not all caramels are created equal. For this recipe, you'll want to use a caramel that is thick and gooey, not too runny. You can use store-bought caramel or make your own.
  • Be careful not to overcook the caramel: If you overcook the caramel, it will become hard and brittle. Cook it just until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Let the caramel cool slightly before mixing it with the popcorn: This will help to prevent the popcorn from getting soggy.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: Once the caramel and popcorn are mixed together, you can add your favorite mix-ins. Some popular options include nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and chocolate chips.
  • Let the caramel corn cool completely before packaging it: This will help to prevent the caramel from sticking to the packaging.

Conclusion:

Caramel corn is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of caramel corn that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet and salty snack, give this caramel corn recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
