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.
Just tried this recipe and love it! Wish I could serve it as a vegetable this evening with supper, LOL!
Thank goodness I have your amazing blog for stamping inspiration, but I can always find your delicious popcorn recipe when I lose my recipe…ha!

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!

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!!
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!
Sounds good, want to try it and if it is as good as stated, will give in my Christmas baskets this year! TFS!
As soon as I saw this recipe I knew we would have to try it and I can see now why it is your most requested recipe! It is absolutely deliscious! And yes, VERY addicting! Thank you for sharing. 🙂

I'll have to see if we can get that syrup here – I only ever recall seeing Golden Syrup – wonder if thats the same kinda thing?
Also – puffcorn – is that different to popcorn? Will have to see if I can get that too cause I soooooooo wanna make this! lol
