Try this same recipe with buttered flavored corn puffs in place of the popcorn. Awesome update.

On the TV show, you showed adding nuts to the caramel corn. None shown on the above recipe. Are the nuts you added on TV raw or already cooked? Thank you for your anticipated response. Judy

I do it too but I put instead of the 1/2 cup corn syrup a 1/2 cup honey and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the other ingredients.and i bake it at 120 degrees for 1 hour.

When you are boiling the mixture for 5 minutes, do you need to stir it, or just let it boil?

I was excited to find this recipe! I made a couple large batches and gave the caramel corn as Christmas gifts. The first time I made it, I used the recipe as directed, and it was incredible! The next time, I added a tsp. of Vanilla Extract and an additional 1/2 tsp. of sea salt. It gave it an extra pop of richness with an amazing sweet/salty combo. I love this recipe!

This is the exact same recipe as my momma's. What a classic! I don't have many of her recipes so I'm always thankful for Paula... her cookin' is as close to momma's as I can get. Thanks!

Paula, Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had lost my recipe that I've used for years & years & was in a panic (everyone's been asking for caramel corn). This is my exact recipe! I was SO grateful when I found it yesterday! I've always used 3 bags of microwave popcorn & it's just the right amount of corn. Also, do NOT double it, unless you have a huge oven & huge roaster pan. I've found it's best to just make single batches (although I have to make multiples because it's eaten so quickly).

I had time to make this before I left for work it's so fast and easy!Everybody loved it so glad I left half at home!

WOW - very good! I made in half batches, because I didn't have a big enough roaster pan. This is very easy to make. Giving as Christmas gifts, if it lasts that long. Variation: I also melted chocolate chips, and drizzled on the cooling caramel corn. Excellent also.

Amazing... easy... and I probably shouldn't have made it. I can not keep my hands out of the bowl! Thank you for a great recipe!
