SUPER FAST, DELICIOUS, EASY, AND OOEY GOOEY CARAMEL CORN



Super Fast, Delicious, Easy, and Ooey Gooey Caramel Corn image

This caramel corn whips up really fast and is the perfect consistency and taste. I received it from some good friends of my parents. It always goes over well when a bunch of friends or family get together. Even though its easy, my husband requests it often. We like light corn syrup, but if you prefer a stronger flavor, use dark.

Time 5m

Yield 12 cups, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
12 cups popped popcorn, old maids removed

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, bring to a boil butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup.
  • Place popped popcorn in large bowl and drizzle caramel mixture gradually over popcorn, while tossing and stirring to coat evenly.
  • Make sure to scrape the bottom as the mixture settles.
  • We love to serve it warm in all its ooey gooey goodness! Once you start, you can't stop.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven with a heavy bottom to prevent the popcorn from burning.
  • Use fresh popcorn kernels for the best results.
  • Add the sugar and butter to the pot before the popcorn kernels. This will help to prevent the sugar from burning.
  • Stir the popcorn constantly while it is cooking to prevent it from burning.
  • Once the popcorn is popped, immediately remove it from the pot and spread it out on a baking sheet to cool.
  • Drizzle the caramel sauce over the popcorn while it is still warm. This will help the caramel to stick to the popcorn.
  • Let the caramel popcorn cool completely before storing it in an airtight container.
