Microwave Caramel Corn Recipe

I made this for my Stamp a Stack classes last week. This is the most requested recipe that I own! CAUTION, this is ADDICTING and has quite a few calories! But it is OHHHHHHH SOOOO GOOD and easy to make!


Microwave Caramel Corn

½ C. butter
1 C. brown sugar
¼ C. dark Karo syrup
Dash of salt

Microwave on high 4 mn. in a glass bowl. Stir after 2 mn.

Then add:
½ t. baking soda
1/8 t. vanilla

Stir until fluffy. Pour this over the puffed popcorn (I use one full bag of the popcorn) that is in a large Tupperware bowl (or one that is ok to go back into the microwave.) Stir this up, then microwave for 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute.

Spread this out on wax paper to let it cool.

If you want added sweetness, melt some chocolate almond bark and drizzle over the caramel corn. I put this in the refridgerator so the chocolate gets hardened. Then take out and break it up into smaller pieces.

Note: Here is a photo of the puffcorn that I get. This is the secret to yummy caramel corn! I have found it at Safeway and Albertsons in AZ.

I gotta admit... I was TOTALLY skeptical, but this recipe is good. I didn't have puffcorn so I used two bags of microwave popcorn. :) That mix of the salt and sweet - oh baby! I'm gonna have to make another batch!

Thanks a million!

Puffcorn is not like popcorn . In Canada, it is called popcorn twists. This is a recipe that we do once a year for a scrapbooking girls weekend. Totally addictive!!

Hi Lorri,
I made your popcorn, I got the last two bags of the popcorn in my local target, in fact I had to dig way behind to find a bag. ha!
By butt does not need the calories, but it is so delicious! I'll go on a diet after Christmas!
Hugs,
