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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right popcorn. Courtside Caramel Corn uses a light and airy popcorn as its base, so it is important to choose a popcorn that will produce this type of result. Look for a popcorn that is labeled as "light" or "airy" or otherwise specifically intended for caramel corn.
  • Make sure your butter is hot enough. The butter should be melted and bubbling before you add the popcorn. This will help the caramel to coat the popcorn evenly.
  • Measure your ingredients carefully. The amount of sugar and corn syrup in the caramel sauce is critical for the consistency of the sauce. If you don't measure these ingredients carefully, the sauce may be too thick or too thin.
  • Don't overcook the caramel sauce. The caramel sauce should be cooked until it reaches a temperature of 240 degrees Fahrenheit. If you overcook the sauce, it will become too hard and brittle.
  • Work quickly once you add the caramel sauce to the popcorn. The caramel sauce will start to harden quickly, so it is important to work quickly to coat the popcorn evenly.
  • Spread the popcorn out in a single layer. This will help the caramel sauce to coat the popcorn evenly and prevent it from clumping together.
  • Let the caramel corn cool completely before breaking it up. This will help to prevent the caramel from sticking to your hands and making a mess.

Conclusion:

Courtside Caramel Corn is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make this classic snack right in your own kitchen. So next time you're looking for a sweet and crunchy treat, give Courtside Caramel Corn a try!
