Best Caramel Corn Recipe

(452 grams) butter

(426 grams) brown sugar

(120 milliliters) light corn syrup

(213 grams) unpopped popcorn kernels

Preheat oven to 250°F. Pop the popcorn kernels in an air-pop popcorn machine.

Divide the popcorn evenly between 2 large baking sheets lined with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. (Note: Try and leave behind as many unpopped kernels as you can!)

In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, light corn syrup, and salt. Melt slowly over medium heat, stirring constantly.

When mixture comes to a full boil, continue to boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and add the baking soda. Mix in baking soda carefully as the mixture will expand when you add it.

Divide the caramel between the 2 large baking sheets and mix well to coat the popped kernels.

Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool and enjoy!

I make caramel corn and also Chex mix in my 20 quart Roaster Oven-it works great and I can double or even triple batches!

Fantastic!!!
I made 4 batches and gifted to friends and family. It got rave reviews from all!
It’s my new holiday tradition.

This was pretty close to my mom's recipe (she only used 1 cup of butter). I had been having trouble with hers because the caramel was going grainy on me. I used 1 1/2 cups butter ( a compromise) and followed the rest of this recipe, but I also added about a 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice to it, and the caramel came out buttery smooth. Soooo good.  We call it "crack" in our house. I have been known to eat the whole batch on my own in a couple days!

Made this recipe exactly as written with one addition - 2 teaspoons of Vanilla 

Turned out amazing - will use this recipe from now on

Thank you so much for sharing your delicious I say delicious recipe

This Caramel Popcorn Recipe delivers glossy, crunchy caramel corn with simple pantry ingredients, fast microwave steps, and perfect party flavor.

Caramel Popcorn Recipe

(3.29-ounce) bags plain popcorn

white Karo Syrup

Make popcorn and place it in a large bowl. Remove the unpopped kernels.

Using a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl add the butter, brown sugar, syrup, and salt. Heat in the microwave for 2 minutes.

Add the baking soda to the melted ingredients. The mixture will foam up. Stir well.

Pour over popcorn and toss together evenly coating all of the pieces.

Place the coated popcorn in the microwave for 1 minute and then stir. Place it back into the microwave and heat for another minute. If you want crunchier popcorn, heat it for another minute.

Allow the popcorn to cool and enjoy!

Note: If you used salted popcorn, then reduce or omit the added salt.

This is the same recipe I have been using for years but I put mine on a sheet pan in a 250 degree oven for an hour, stirring every 15 minutes. I doesn't get soft after days, although it usually doesn't last that long!

this is the only recipe that doesn’t have corn syrup that has actually worked for me!! thank you so much

Our easy caramel corn recipe has the perfect crunchy and chewy texture and is so easy to make. (No popcorn machine or special equipment required!)

Tablespoons butter

Tablespoons light karo syrup

Caramel: Melt butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once melted, stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Bake at 200 degrees F for 45 minutes, stirring the popcorn every 15 minutes.

Store caramel corn in an airtight container at room temperature for to 2-3 weeks

I found it a little too chewy. I like more of the brittle kind. But it is real tasty. My husband has no problem scarfing it down.

Followed the recipe exactly &amp; there is no way to "toss" the popcorn after drizzling the caramel. It is all lumped together. I thought maybe it would be more tossable in the oven but checking every 15 min to stir made no difference.

I just made another batch, this time I put the baking soda and extract in at the end.  Big difference, very good.  I recommend this recipe.

I just made a batch, was hoping it would be more crunchy, maybe after it cools it will.  But very good, will make again.  I misread the recipe and put the vanilla and baking soda in at the beginning, but it turned out ok so not sure if it makes a big difference or not.

This was seriously the best ever! Thank you so much. I made a double batch for a gathering, and it went quickly. I am planning to make it next year for neighborhood Christmas gifts! Thank you for posting!

Great recipe! Followed directions exactly except I mixed the carmel glaze with popcorn in a large metal pan.  Used cooking spray on the pan to keep from sticking and kept pan with corn in the oven until ready to mix. Then spread out the glazed popcorn on sheet pan with parchment paper to finish baking. Gifting this for Christmas in cute tins I found at Target.  Always have success with the recipes on your website. Thanks!

Tastes great! The only downside for me was trying to stir it in my pan without spilling it everywhere. I found it worked better for me to use two table knives to scrape and turn every 15 minutes.

Really great recipe! Everyone likes caramel corn but everyone loves homemade fresh caramel corn! So easy &amp; quick to have a batch ready! After you've made the caramel corn go one step further and drizzle with some melted chocolate &amp; chopped pecans! Thanks for this recipe! It definitely brings smiles in my house!

Really good really easy but this amount, it would coat three bags of microwave popcorn!
