The very BEST caramel corn!


This recipe is not your ordinary caramel corn! This caramel corn is crunchy, but still has that the perfect amount of soft or chewiness texture to it as well. It does not stick to your fingers and the flavor is incredible! Don't say I didn't warn you though, because this stuff is truly addicting!!!!

Recipe from Oh My Sugar High

3 packages (3.3 ounces each) butter-flavored microwave popcorn
1-1/3 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Pop microwave popcorn and pour into a large disposable roasting pan. Be sure to pick out any unpopped kernels.

Bring brown sugar and corn syrup to a boil over medium heat using a large saucepan. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Carefully stir in sweetened condensed milk and butter.

Return to a boil (mine bubbled at this point, but it was not at a rolling boil).

Remove from the heat then add vanilla and stir.

Pour over popcorn and toss with a rubber spatula to coat.

Bake at 250° for 40 minutes, stir and scrape the bottom of the pan halfway through cooking.

Remove caramel corn from pans and place on waxed paper to cool. Break into clusters. Use airtight containers for storage to keep it fresh. I wish you the best of luck keeping this caramel corn more than a couple of days! This would make the perfect snack for your next get together or a great Halloween treat!
