Tips:
- Use fresh popcorn for the best results. Stale popcorn will not caramelize properly.
- Make sure the sugar and butter are completely dissolved before adding the baking soda. Otherwise, you will get a grainy texture in your caramel corn.
- Be careful not to overcook the caramel. If you cook it for too long, it will become hard and brittle.
- Stir the caramel corn constantly while it is cooking. This will help to prevent it from burning.
- Add the candy melts and sprinkles immediately after the caramel corn has been cooked. This will help them to stick to the popcorn.
- Let the caramel corn cool completely before storing it. Otherwise, it will become sticky and difficult to handle.
