Tips:
- Use fresh popcorn kernels. Stale kernels will not pop as well and will result in a less fluffy caramel corn.
- Make sure the sugar is completely dissolved before adding the corn syrup. If the sugar is not dissolved, it will crystallize and the caramel will be grainy.
- Cook the caramel mixture to the correct temperature. If the mixture is not cooked to a high enough temperature, the caramel will be too soft. If the mixture is cooked to too high a temperature, the caramel will be too hard.
- Work quickly when adding the popcorn to the caramel mixture. The caramel will start to set quickly, so it is important to work quickly to coat all of the popcorn.
- Spread the caramel corn out on a baking sheet to cool. This will help to prevent the caramel corn from sticking together.
- Store the caramel corn in an airtight container. This will help to keep the caramel corn fresh and prevent it from becoming stale.
