This Caramel Corn does not disappoint! It is sweet, a little salty, and gooey-just the way caramel corn should be. It's very quick and easy to make-it uses microwave popcorn, real butter-definitely NO margarine, sweetened condensed milk, and brown sugar, just to name a few of the ingredients. All you need to do is pop the popcorn and remove the un-popped kernels-there is a great tip below. Make the caramel and coat the popcorn. Make sure you use a large mixing or serving bowl, this recipe makes a lot of caramel corn. Which is really great because you will love it! I do not think I have ever had any leftover. Everyone loves this recipe. Check out some of our other recipes with caramel.

I don't usually make comments good or bad, but I have to say that this was the worst recipe, I have ever made or tasted. No Carmel flavor super sticky and yucky.

  Look for a recipe that has baking soda stirred into the caramel mixture and bakes in the oven for an hour that you stir every 15 minutes. The best I’ve found.
