  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar packed
  • 3/4 cup light corn syrup

    Cup of Yum
  1. Grease a large rimmed baking sheet or pan with cooking spray or line with a silicone baking mat.
  2. Preheat oven to 225F.
  3. Put popcorn on baking sheet, and place in the oven while you make the caramel.
  4. Add brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt to a large, heavy saucepan.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
  6. Let it boil 5 minutes without stirring.
  7. Remove from heat.
  8. Add baking soda and vanilla, and stir in to combine.
  9. Remove popcorn from oven, and pour caramel over warm popcorn, tossing to coat. The popcorn may not be completely coated, and that's ok.
  10. Bake for 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  12. Break apart before drizzling with chocolate.
  13. Once the popcorn has cooled and been broken apart, drizzle with chocolate.
  14. Drizzle melted white chocolate over the top.
  15. Let the chocolate set up before serving.

Notes

  • Use salted butter for more of a salted caramel flavor or use unsalted butter for a more traditional caramel corn.
  • Or 1/4 teaspoon table salt.
