When I was a kid, my mom made this recipe often. I've adapted it to make it more chewy and gooey than her crunchy, nut-loaded version. I get requests to make this for every event that I host, and have never had a single leftover! -Shannon Dobos, Calgary, Alberta

Tips:

  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven so the popcorn has plenty of room to pop.
  • Do not overcrowd the pot with popcorn kernels. This will prevent them from popping evenly.
  • Use fresh popcorn kernels. Old kernels are less likely to pop.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat. If the oil is too hot, the popcorn will burn.
  • Once the popcorn starts popping, shake the pot or Dutch oven constantly. This will help the popcorn pop evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Remove the popcorn from the heat once the popping slows down. If you leave it on the heat too long, the popcorn will burn.
  • Immediately transfer the popcorn to a large bowl. This will help to stop the popping process.
  • Pour the caramel sauce over the popcorn and stir to coat.
  • Spread the popcorn out on a baking sheet and let it cool completely.
  • Once the popcorn is cool, break it into pieces and enjoy!
