Directions
Caramel Popcorn (not too sweet or sticky),I think this is a great caramel popcorn recipe, and I have tried quite a few! They were either too sticky or too sweet. This one is neither. The caramel dries well and doesn’t stick to your fingers, and the sweetness is just right. use spanish peanuts in this, but you could use other kinds of nuts, too. Here I was searching for the perfect caramel corn recipe, when all the while it was right in my recipe box! This is done in the microwave, and is very simple to make.,Where is the print recipe function?,My family loved this popcorn! I made as Christmas gifts, packaged in 1 qt Zip-Lock bags, adding Christmas stickers to the bag. For mailing packages, used the popcorn bags as extra padding for the other gifts, and made sure every person had their own bag of this yummy, crunchy, goodness! I made several notes to myself that you might find helpful, too. *One batch is not going to be enough! Don’t worry about washing the bowls or the popcorn pot – just keep using to repeat the process. Be sure you have stocked up on the ingredients so you can make more. *I like to make popcorn on top of the stove in my big dutch oven with butter-flavored popcorn + 1/2 cup kernels. This quantity worked well for me. *Add a healthy “pinch” of Kosher salt when adding the baking soda for a salty/sweet combo. *Beware of the very hot sugar and handle with care. Use potholders when moving bowl into & out of the microwave, onto the parchment paper, etc., especially if your microwave is located high above your head like mine. *2 ft. x 15 in. piece of parchment paper, sprayed lightly with Pam, was the perfect amount of space to spread the candied corn to cool in a single layer. This piece of parchment can be used for multiple batches, too. *Stirring with a heat-resistant spatula worked well at getting every bit of caramel from the bottom of the bowl onto all of the kernels, plus the caramel didn’t stick to the spatula. Now . . . I need to make a batch for myself!
