- Caramel Corn-Microwave
1 c brown sugar
1 stick butter
¼ c white corn syrup (or can use sorghum)
½ t salt
½ t baking soda
1 cup nuts (optional)
About 4 quarts popped corn
1 large brown paper grocery bag with about 2 inches cut of the top
Pop the corn and remove as many uncooked kernels as possible.
Place popped corn into the brown paper bag.
Combine all ingredients except baking soda and popped corn. Cook in a 1 ½ quart pan. Bring to boil and boil 2 minutes on high. Remove from heat and add baking soda (watch it because it will foam up). Pour over popped corn that has been placed in a brown grocery bag. Stir and shake well (be careful, it is extremely hot). Fold bag over twice at top. Cook in microwave (I use 70% power on my microwave) for 1 ½ minutes. Take out, shake, and cook for another 1 ½ minutes. Remove from microwave, shake again, and pour onto a large cookie sheet, spread out and cool.
Note: can add nuts to popped corn before adding cooked mixture.
Peanut Brittle
2 c sugar
1 c corn syrup 2 t vanilla
1/2 c water 2 t soda
2 c raw peanuts 2 T butter
½ t salt
Note: a black iron skillet works well for this recipe
Generously butter a large cooking sheet with high sides.
In large skillet or pan mix: sugar, water, salt & syrup and cook about 10 minutes (or to 250 degrees). Add raw peanuts & stir constantly. Cook until peanuts are toasty brown, about 8-10 minutes (or 300 degrees), add butter. Remove from heat & add baking soda & vanilla. Stir quickly & thoroughly. Pour at once onto the buttered cookie sheet. Do not spread with spoon, instead with 2 forks lift & pull peanut mixture into a rectangle about 14X12. Cool, break into pieces.

When microwaves became the “new” kitchen appliance in the early 80s, a dear friend gave me the recipe to make peanut brittle and caramel corn in it. It has been my go to for many years and never disappoints!
I totally agree
I normally make this at Christmas with my grandma, but got a craving for it earlier today. Listening to you reminded me a lot of being in the kitchen with my grandma. Thank you, Cecilia!
08:44 "And you shake the livin' daylights out of it!" 😂😂😂 I love it!
What an ingenious way of doing it Cecilia.

I just subscribed to your channel. I’ve been making different kinds of brittle, peanut, pecan, cashews and coconut for years. Loved the Carmel corn so that will be an extra surprise this year for the kids and grandkids. Thank you so much and God bless you.
You have inspired me to try a much loved treat. Thank you for sharing and making it look easy and enjoyable you tickled me when you shook the liven day lights out of the bag of Carmel corn.
Why do I love this video so much!

I was tickled to find this Carmel corn recipe! Thank you so much. My dad made peanut brittle every year for folks at church. He was known for his homemade ice cream and peanut brittle, but he made in the peanut brittle in the microwave. It's very simple to do that way. Thanks again.
Good to hear from you. Oh, those memories of our childhood. They are so special
Yummmmm…I LOVE caramel corn!!! TYFS 💕🌸💕
I will be making this recipe, thank you
I'd make it right now if I had a brown bag!!! Love the video, I subscribed. BTW, you have a lovely home
Thank you. This is the way I learned how to make it and it was so good but couldn't remember the recipe and how long it was cooked in the microwave. Can't wait to make it. I could almost smell it when you took it out of the bag! :)
Thank you for sharing your recipe. It looks sooo good 👍.
You are very welcome!
First time viewer. What a lovely, delightful lady and an informative video. I love the accent. It reminds me of home is Mississippi, as does the caramel corn and peanut brittle.
Thank you for this video! My hubby loves Carmel corn so now I can make it special for him
That's awesome, Keto Lisa, ENJOY!
Oh my goodness! This looks so good and So easy compared to the oven method. Thank you for sharing with us. I just found you 🥰 New subscriber.
Awesome, my first time visiting your channel and love easy microwave recipes. Many thanks! I made my first brittle last week, I’m 70 yo😳, and had always thought brittle was extremely hard to make. I did it in the microwave, made peanut and pecan brittle and it’s delicious. Whoever invented the microwave -👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I think you will also love this microwave caramel corn recipe, it is so easy. Thank for watching!!!
I just got done making the Caramel Corn and it is so DELICIOUS and extremely easy to make!! Thank you, Cecilia for sharing your recipe!!
Do u salt ur corn when u pop it ?
@@ksmill09 I didn't. I lightly salted it while it was cooling on a cookie sheet. I also did not add peanuts to mine.
@@ksmill09 no
Will it be crunchy like oven baked recipes? I’m making oven one now. It’s so time consuming. This looks great!
Miss Cecilia you are a God send, the presentation was amazing, you are an excellent teacher...Thank you so much for sharing this video
Thank you!!
Looks yummy
Just found your channel just in time for the best eating and best time of the year! 🥰 Subbed to your channel love 💕
Thank you for the Carmel corn recipe!
You are welcome
What a great recipe! I just want to mention that your video is top-notch, beautiful lady! Blessings to you and your family!
This was in my recommendations on CZcams and I just wanted to say that you are so full of life and seem like such a genuinely kind person. God Bless you and your family, stay safe :)
Thank you Cecelia, God’s blessing on your family 🕊❤️🙏🏻
I make this from my aunt and uncle's recipe. It is soooo good. I make my caramel sauce in the microwave. Just melt the brown sugar, corn syrup and butter in the microwave for two minutes. Take it out and stir it. Return to microwave for 2 more minutes. Take out and add baking soda. This gives it the volume.
I happened upon this video and because I love caramel corn I was interested. Then I realized your name and I began to cry. Your name is the same as my mothers maiden name. Thank You for a wonderful video and I cannot wait to make the caramel corn. P.S. my mom used to make peanut brittle as well. (unfortunately I am not a nut fan)......
Great video
I am going to make this tonight thank you
I love peanut brittle and Carmel popcorn. Great video.
Ditto!
Yummy, thanks!!
Omg, it looks delicious. 😍 I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as well.🥰🙏
Thank you, Bonnie
I make a great peanut brittle in my microwave. Takes about 10 minutes. Can’t wait to try caramel popcorn recipe.
New subscriber here !! Loved this video !!
I just made my mother-in-law’s peanut brittle recipe, she has gone to be with the Lord now, it is made in the microwave. It just didn’t have that rich caramel color and it is very sticky. So I found your recipe made it and it is wonderful, I poured it on a cookie sheet with parchment paper and I didn’t to clean it. Thank you for posting your recipe.
You are very welcome. Glad you liked it. Makes me hungry for it!!!!
Thank you
You are so precious….glad I found your video…I hope to make this in a few days…God’s blessings to you…
Thank you. I hope you enjoy the recipes
Lady you are awesome!
I'll have to try this as I can't seem to eat the premade stuff that I used to buy anymore. TY
I bake and make candy for a living nowadays and I do my peanut brittle in the microwave it's quicker it's less mess it's delicious and it's just as good as what I used to make in my cast iron skillet. :-) merry Christmas and happy holidays :-)
Gonna have to try both these great recipes! ASAP! Thank you for showing these! Subscribed also.
Thank you for this recipe.. 😘
You a welcome
@@CeciliaMiller5Nanny 😘🥰
I love your channel god bless you and thank you for the wonderful meal idea and videos!
Stumbled upon this video and must say I loved the energy you have. I will have to try these out! Does it have to be a brown bag for the popcorn or can it be a bowl or something?
I have never tried it with a bowl, but as long as it is microwave safe, it should work. Just watch it very closely to make sure it doesn't burn
Hi,
I just liked, Shared and Subscribed with the Notification Bell 🔔.
Your Carmel Corn Recipe came up so excited my favorite!! I’m made this for years but in the oven ugh!! I will try your recipe as soon as I can find a grocery store with Paper Bags !!
You look exactly like my neighbour. She's a good cook as well.
For people with peanut allergies. We used mini pretzels, or chow mein noodles, coconut, could not find mini pretzel so broke up regular ones. Before it cools added m&m, and recesses pieces. Finally a peanut brittle for people with allergies
Thanks for sharing ths!
Microwave peanut brittle takes 7 min. Is delicious ! And quick. I never butter pan, just breaks up fine.
It’s easier to put the popcorn into the pot after u made the caramel. Then pour into the bag. It coats better too.
I luv ya CECILIA! YA THA BEST!! 👏👏👏😷😷🇨🇦 (New subscriber)!!! Definitely 👍👏😷😷🇨🇦
I make my brittle with salted peanuts I prefer that
For the caramel popcorn, is it a packec 1/2 cup of brown sugar??
Does humidity affect this caramel popcorn? Others said it does.
Do I need to put peanuts in the brittle?
What if I don't have a paper sack ?
What wattage is your microwave??
We’re going to make this weekend. For my bigger family, I was going to double. Do you think I need to do separate batches or do all at once? Recommend increasing my time in microwave if I do it that way? I’m really going to miss your videos:(
I would make 2 separate batches
I have no living family and I used to be called the queen of Christmas!
I would love to have the recipe for peanut brittle I love it 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Here is the recipe:
PEANUT BRITTLE
1/2 c water 2 t soda
2 c raw peanuts 2 T butter
½ t salt
Note: a black iron skillet works well for this recipe
Generously butter a large high sided cooking sheet.
In large skillet or pan mix: sugar, water, salt & syrup and cook about 10 minutes (or to 250 degrees). Add raw peanuts & stir constantly. Cook until peanuts are toasty brown, about 8-10 minutes (or 300 degrees), add butter. Remove from heat & add baking soda & vanilla. Stir quickly & thoroughly. Pour at once onto the buttered cookie sheet. Do not spread with spoon, instead with 2 forks lift & pull peanut mixture into a rectangle about 14X12. Cool, break into pieces.
@@CeciliaMiller5Nanny thank you
Collard Valley Cooks has a microwave version of peanut brittle and takes 10 minutes to cook plus about 5 minutes prep/assembly...I just made some - it's rich, buttery, and delicious 😉👍🏻
You are a darling woman ! I just found you …👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😃
Good stuff, but after looking in the popcorn bag, I noticed you threw away a lot of popcorn you could cave salvaged......!
You my dear are beautiful. Thank you sweetie xoxo 🇨🇦
So is power #7 on your microwave high setting? 7 on mine is the highest setting.
No, mine goes to #10
My microwave is too small for such a large bag. What do I do?
You can bake it in the oven, but it takes longer. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Place popcorn on large flat pan. Pour prepared syrup over popcorn. Stir quickly. Bake about 40 minutes, stirring occassionally.
Wattage of your microwave please. Do you use the raw peanuts in your popcorn, or regular salted peanuts?
I'm sure it wasn't raw peanuts.
Yes, use raw peanuts!
@@lindadunn7656 I wouldn't have ever thought to use raw... Thanks!!!
How long can you keep it for?
In an air tight bag, about 3 days (ours never last that long!)
So the popcorn itself won't get overcooked in the micro??
Not at all
Just join ur channel will be making the popcorn
Please What is the watt of your microwave, thank u
My latest microwave is 1,000 watts. However over the years, I have used several different microwaves to make this recipe and have had to adjust the time according to the microwave. Hope this helps
I make my peanut brittle in the microwave.
Can we pop the corn in the microwave or must we buy it already popped?
Yes you can. BUT pop it before adding the carmel coating
@@CeciliaMiller5Nanny Thanks a million. God bless you.
shake the living daylights out of it. Love it:)
Why is it necessary to use raw peanuts in this recipe?
Raw Spanish Peanuts have a higher oil content than other peanuts and have a strong bold nutty flavor when roasted.
Yeyyyyy Jesus!!!!!! Everyday is Jesus time!!!!!😃
Why don’t u do a peanut brittle video. U can speed up the cooking stage by editing it faster.
I’m allergic to peanuts 🙁
I'm terrified of caramel. I am creation's worst caramel making lady ever to make caramel. I made it perfectly the first time for bread popcorn, then waited too long until my next attempt. Now each subsequent try has turned to crystal or failed to harden.
Would the corn syrup change anything?
Yep!
Poor sound but good recipe
I have made this recipe a couple of times. Mine always turns out gritty and dry. What am I doing wrong? The texture is almost like seafoam candy, if you know what I mean.
Do you mean the peanut brittle or carmel corn?
Why don’t u do a peanut brittle video of ur mother-in-laws recipe.
Title says ...using microwave... I tune in because I think, wow that's interesting... lady uses stove.... 😒
