I just made this and, let me tell you, it is insanity-producing deliciousness!!! The end result is a crisp, crunchy caramel corn that is perfect... and no, it does not need to be baked. I used a Thermapen (instant digital thermometer) to ensure I properly got the sugar mixture up to 300 degrees F. I used the pastry brush dipped in water to wash the pot's sides also and only gently swirled the pot from time to time. I started the heat at medium-low and gradually increased to medium-high because I felt more comfortable in doing so, as I did not want to scorch the caramel (I've never heated sugar up to 300 degrees F before). Lastly, I did butter my wooden spoon which really helps avoid sticking when tossing the popcorn with the caramel. Everything actually worked. It worked! And the product is excellent.

Your instructions are extremely clear Stephanie. I feel like i can start a popcorn shop😉

love it that you list the amounts of ingredients. Will make this in two weeks for Thanks giving.

Thank you Stephnie for the information.

Thanks Stephanie. I've learnt so much from your videos - ever since I got into baking about 5 years ago. Tonight my 12 year old son found this recipe as he wanted to make caramel popcorn for his class party. Such clear instructions and we had a great result.

*As always Steph.... You hit it out of the ball park!* _....and after I added 1 cup of 'red skinned' peanuts? This LITERALLY reminds me of those days eating Cracker Jacks at the park!_ (minus the cheap prize of course)

OMG this is the best I made a batch for friends and eat it myself so I made a 2nd batch and gave it to them and they loved it, thanks so much

WHO in there right minds would EVER thumbs down any of your vids !!!! So now you got me making popcorn woman smh your going to have to do an exercise vid lolololol love u Ms. Stephanie ;)

great popcorn!

Hi Stephanie! Could you use this caramel recipe for other preparations like a panna cotta?? A proper caramel is very hard to make but I found this way with all the ingredients together much easier. Thanks!

ohh this is very inyeresting i have to buy a termometer for my next bacht i wanna ask u if i can change the butter by coconut oil and how i can do diffetent flavours like nutella do i have to put it and the end to the caramel? what if im gonna do salted flavors like specias ? how can i do they keep crunchy?

Hi Stephanie can we substitute corn syrup with glucose, thanks

I’m glad you didn’t bake it after pouring the caramel. Why do persons bake it afterwards? Also thanks for explaining the baking soda

I enjoy all your recipes - I like the idea of adding the sprinkles before baking. I normally frost mine with different color frosting. Do you have a good recipe for Lemon Chiffon or Lemon Custard Ice Cream? I grew up with Carnation Ice Creams, they had a Lemon icecream that was to die for as a kid.

you are awesome 👍 love you ❤

I always put in a teaspoon of vanilla at the end with the baking soda. Plus add any nuts of your choice too...yes, this stuff is so addicting!!

I have my own popcorn shop and caramel corn is the specialty of our shop. The recipe is really good and frankly speaking, I was cooking caramel popcorn in the same way as you have shown in your recipe before starting this popcorn shop.

my dream is to sell popcorn and i love your recipe

Vielen Dank. Thanks

if I do not have light corn syrup...can I use homemade corn syrup subsitute?

I have a Carmel corn jones. It is my Kryptonite. Your recipe is mighty.

I love caramel corn. This looks so good. I like your pots. When you said they were cast iron you really got my attention! Where did you buy them?

I have made this and everyone loves it! How far in advance can I make and put in plastic bags with ties, so it will still taste fresh.

You are so cuuuteeeee with pink in everywhere ♡

What's the substitute for corn syrup? Thanks!!

Joy, I like pecans in it. Have you tried them?

Hi Stephanie, How well does this keep? Would like to send some via mail etc.

Stephanie, I love your recipes. I would like to know what are you using to cook the caramel and were did you buy it ? I really would like to get me one so I don't have to use the stove so much.

yummie

would this caramel sauce be suitable for dipping pretzels ?

I want to eat this right now 🤤

Do you have a recipe for butter toffee popcorn with nuts?

What could be used as a replacement for corn syrup?

i tried dis nd it was yummy

THIS.. is why Stephanie has over a MILLION subscribers.

can I made corn syrup at home? because we don't have it in italy (same with golden syrup) thank you!!

Can u heat the ingredients if u cant boil
