I didn’t realize what I was missing until I tried HOMEMADE caramel corn! If you’re a popcorn fan, take a little time and whip up this delicious homemade caramel corn recipe and you’ll see what I mean.
You’ll love that this recipe is easy to make and delivers the buttery and caramel-y flavors you’re looking for in a caramel popcorn treat.
Popcorn
There are classic snacks that just never get old. One food that fits the bill is popcorn! I love the wide variety of variations available when choosing popcorn and one of my favorites is caramel. So if you want to impress your family and friends, whip up a batch of this Homemade Caramel Corn for them!
Ingredients
Directions
Pop your popcorn and place in a large (oven safe) roaster. Then, set it aside for later. In a large pot, combine the brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt over medium heat. Bring to a boil and continue to stir constantly as it boils for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and baking soda until foamy. Immediately, pour over popcorn and gently mix until all popcorn is coated. Place roaster into the oven and bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour. Make sure to stir every 15 minutes. After 1 hour, dump contents out of roaster onto wax paper and break apart. Enjoy!
