Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:22 Preheat oven to 250F (120C). Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.
00:44 Place popcorn, on prepared baking sheet and place in the oven on the center rack to keep warm while you prepare the caramel coating.
01:30 Place butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Cook until butter is melted.
01:46 Add brown sugars, corn syrup, and salt and cook until the sugar is dissolved.
02:45 Bring mixture to a boil (still over medium heat), Boil for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
03:02 Remove caramel from heat and stir in vanilla extract and baking soda until completely combined.
03:44 Remove popcorn from oven and drizzle caramel over popcorn. Sprinkle nuts over top (if using) and then use a spatula to stir until popcorn and nuts are mostly coated with caramel (it’ll be a little tough to get popcorn completely coated, aim for coating about 75% of the popcorn, you’ll be able to coat more later on).
04:50 Return cookie sheet to center rack in oven and bake on 250F (120C) for 40-45 minutes, removing the popcorn every 10-15 minutes to stir.
06:17 Once finished cooking, stir again and allow popcorn to cool completely on the baking sheet before enjoying.
Notes
¹This recipe can be made with unsalted/unbuttered popcorn which you can make in an air popper or in a cast iron Dutch oven or you can use a “Homestyle” microwave popcorn for a richer flavor. I like PopSecret Homestyle.²You may substitute this for additional light brown sugar (so you would use 1 1/3 cups light brown sugar total), I just personally prefer the blend of light and dark brown sugar.

I have been looking for this particular recipe for years. I specifically remembered that it was brown sugar based and cooked on the stove top for 3 minutes and then finished in the oven. I remember making this when I was a kid in Home Ec class and it really was the best Carmel corn I ever ate. When I’m searching for something special, I always default to your channel. I have NEVER been disappointed in the results. You’ve really got a gift. 😊
Thank you so much! I'm so glad to have been able to bring it back to you. :)
I've made this today exactly as the recipe states and my family and I LOVE it!

I'm making my 4th batch since finding your recipe. I love carmel corn but expensive and difficult to find in stores.
Thankyou, Louis

Update: she loved it! She ate most of the bag I brought along while we wandered town around talking
That's awesome! I'm glad it was such a hit! :)
@@SugarSpunRun Thanks very much for the recipe, and extra thanks for including metric conversions in the description. I know that's a bit of a pain but it really helped
Substitute for corn syrup - golden syrup. You can make it easily at home and it's dirt cheap.
How long do you think this lasts after making it? I'm thinking about making and packing it up for little gifts.
As long as it's in an air tight container it should be good for 1-2 weeks. :)
Hi there I am new to your channel but I made several recipes of yours already, and it was delicious!!!!!! So I subscribed to your channel. Can you please please make red velvet cream cheese gourmet popcorn❤. With love Amanda all the way from South Africa
I'm so happy to have you here, Amanda! Thank you so much for trying my recipes!
Can you do cheddar cheese popcorn? Made with liquid cheese?
I can add it to my list of things to do. :)
my main issue with caramel corn is that i can't get the popcorn evenly covered. i tried your oven trick tonight & it didn't make much of a difference.
i think when i initially pour the caramel i should try harder to coat the popcorn as evenly as i can? i have a lot of large caramel globs that just don't want to melt in the oven.
(i am not using your recipe but i'll try it. mine is also brown sugar based but has no corn syrup.)
Let me know how it turns out with this recipe, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
does the corn syrup make the caramel easier to coax into shape? i assume it does.
i also love dark brown sugar!
Substitute for corn syrup: golden syrup
I made the caramel didn't work.i melted the butter then put in the sugar and let it boil, but after stirring for 3minutes I can see oil separate from sugar.
If separating the heat was too high :(
Wouldn’t it be easier to add the popcorn to the pan of caramel and stir rather than adding the caramel to the popcorn?
It is easier to distribute and keeps the popcorn from getting soggy. This is the best/easiest way I've found to do it, but if you have enough room in your pan you could try adding the popcorn to the pan if you'd like. :)
Why do people use corn syrup?and why why do they bake it?
Corn syrup just works best here. It is not the same thing as high fructose corn syrup.
@SugarSpunRun why do you bake it?
can I skip the corn syrup?
Unfortunately I don't recommend it. :(
@@SugarSpunRun oh ok I will try with it....thank you
