Is it so very wrong that I made this using pre-popped Kettle Corn from Trader Joes? Judging by how fast the finished delectation disappeared, no it is not.

I’m sure this would have been delightful, but I checked facebook when it had been bubbling for 10 minutes and it burned at 15 minutes. :-( There’s always next time!

I am definitely going to give this a try. I bought a bag of caramel corn at a bakery last week (it included Chex mix) and we ate it over ice cream. It was so ridiculous!

I made this last week and so happy to report no burns suffered in the easy process and the results were AMAZINGLY YUMMY. My dentist will not be happy with me though as I have since eaten 3/4 of it all by myself.

Thanks for sharing.

Just made this and am having a terrible time waiting for it to cool! Joy, this is so yummy that I can’t stop eating it{editor’s note: I have clearly failed with the waiting while reading comments, but am happy to report that the mix cools quickly.} At least I didn’t tell my co-workers that I was planning on bringing this in tomorrow…shh…don’t tell. In other news I used a ladle for the distributing & dispensing of the caramel (thnx for the burn warning!) and it worked like a charm.

Hugs!

This is the fisrt recipe of yours i have tried, and well i’m sad to report that it didnt go so well. First i popped the popcorn…but i accidently burnt the popcorn.
Then i moved onto the caramel..it was all going…sugar bubbling away. then all of a suden my sugar liquid substance dried up! is that supposed to happen? Jut as i started to freak out about my now once agian hard sugar…it started to melt, and turn a wonderful brown. ya, thats were it started to go down hill fast. i got burned. like blazing hot pain splattered all over my hand! i’m still feeling the burn. the sad thing is after i evebtually got the popcorn covered in caramell and all…it turned out i had burnt the sugar. so now the popcorn wasl burnt and covered in butter caramel! So in pian, with relatively non-edible popcorn i had to now clean everything that was covered in hardened sugar! That was a mission and a half!!!!!

Prhaps next time i will be luckier =D

April 7 is National Caramel Popcorn Day, and seeing as how I’ll take any excuse to try a new kitchen adventure, I made this recipe last night and brought it to work today. Emails from my co-workers so far:
“Cameral corn is delicious. Light, fresh, crunchy, chock full o’nuts! Not gooey or sticky, doesn’t stick to your teeth. A freshly-made homemade batch makes you realize how stale the store bought can be. Only suggestion – make it again.”
“Light, buttery, sweet…this is FABULOUS! I will be back for more…”

I did have to use my bowl of ice water, so thanks for emphasizing the need to be prepared.

I ended up sprinking quite a bit of kosher salt over my finished popcorn. I like this recipe because it’s not too sweet. Next time I might try a slightly higher caramel to popcorn ratio though.

Happy Caramel Popcorn Day!
