HOMEMADE CARAMEL POPCORN RECIPE



Homemade Caramel Popcorn Recipe image

Sweet and gooey, this homemade caramel popcorn recipe is an old family favorite.

Provided by Momma Cyd

Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound brown sugar
1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup karo syrup (light corn syrup)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup unpopped popcorn

Steps:

  • Pop your popcorn in an air popper machine. My machine only allows 1/2 cup of kernels at a time so I had two separate batches that I had to pop.
  • Cook the brown sugar, Karo syrup, and 1/2 cup of butter over the stove on medium high heat and bring to a boil.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk. Stir continually for about 3 to 4 minutes until it gets to the soft ball stage (it clings together when you drop some in cold water). It will burn if you cook it too long, so make sure you are stirring continuously and watch it closely.
  • When it is finished cooking, take your pan off the stove and pour the caramel sauce over your air popped popcorn. Mix until all the popcorn is completely coated. You will need a very large bowl to mix it all together.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 3h

Yield Makes 10 sundaes

Number Of Ingredients 19

Nonstick cooking spray
1 tablespoon safflower or coconut oil
1/3 cup popcorn kernels
1 cup salted cocktail peanuts
2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup light corn syrup
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of coarse salt

Steps:

  • Caramel popcorn: Coat 2 rimmed baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add popcorn and cover. Cook, shaking pot frequently, until corn has finished popping. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in peanuts.
  • Heat butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted, 5 minutes. Continue to cook until mixture reaches 290 degrees on a candy thermometer, then remove from heat and quickly stir in vanilla and baking soda, making sure soda is dissolved fully. Drizzle half of caramel over popcorn mixture; pour remainder onto one baking sheet and let cool. Quickly toss popcorn to coat, then transfer to other baking sheet; let cool completely. Break caramel popcorn into bits. Popcorn can be stored in a resealable plastic bag at room temperature up to 5 days.
  • Caramel-chunk ice cream: Finely chop sheet of cooled caramel. Working in 2 batches, soften ice cream with an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat half of chopped caramel into each batch until thoroughly combined. Freeze until firm, 2 hours.
  • Hot-fudge sauce: Heat brown sugar and cocoa in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, whisking to combine. Add cream and corn syrup and whisk until smooth. Cook, whisking occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Stir in chocolate, butter, vanilla, and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until chocolate and butter are melted and sauce is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool slightly. Sauce can be stored in refrigerator up to 5 days; reheat over low heat before serving.
  • To serve, layer ice cream in glasses with warm hot fudge and caramel popcorn.

Tips:

  • Prepare your ingredients in advance: To ensure a smooth and efficient cooking process, measure out all ingredients accurately and set them aside before starting.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan for the caramel: This will help distribute heat evenly, preventing hot spots and ensuring the caramel cooks evenly.
  • Cook the caramel to the correct stage: The color and consistency of the caramel will determine the final texture of the fudge. Cook the caramel until it reaches a light amber color and has a thick, syrupy texture.
  • Be careful when adding the baking soda: Once baking soda is added to the caramel, the mixture will react and foam up vigorously. Slowly whisk the baking soda into the caramel, standing back to avoid splatters.
  • Stir the fudge constantly: Once the fudge is cooked, remove it from the heat and stir it constantly until it begins to thicken and lose its glossy sheen. This stirring prevents sugar crystals from forming, resulting in a smooth and creamy fudge.
  • Let the fudge cool completely: Allow the fudge to cool completely before cutting and serving. This will help the fudge set properly and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Triple caramel popcorn fudge is a delightful treat that combines the flavors of caramel, popcorn, and chocolate. Whether you're making it for a special occasion or simply as a sweet snack, this fudge is sure to satisfy your cravings. With its rich, creamy texture, buttery caramel flavor, and crunchy popcorn pieces, this fudge is a perfect blend of sweet and salty that's sure to be a hit with everyone.
