This is a great recipe for caramel corn. It is quick and easy. The corn turns out soooo good! I always make it for gifts at Christmas. It is from the Joy of Microwaving Cookbook. (The peanuts are optional and I have never added them).

Time 20m

Yield 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup shelled peanuts (optional)
3 tablespoons dark corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
salt
5 cups popcorn, popped

Steps:

  • Place butter or margarine in a 8 cup measure or large microwavable bowl.
  • Microwave at high for 30-45 seconds, or until melted.
  • Stir in brown sugar, peanuts(optional) and corn syrup.
  • Insert candy thermometer.
  • Microwave at high for 3-4 minutes, or until mixture reaches 280 degrees (soft crack stage). (Note- this is where the mixture can overcook - so watch carefully).
  • Mix in vanilla, baking soda and salt.
  • Place prepared popcorn in large bowl.
  • Pour hot mixture quickly over popcorn, stirring to coat.
  • Microwave at high for 2 minutes, stirring after half the time.
  • Stir again. Cool for about 30 minutes. Stirring occasionally to break apart.
  • I find it helpful, to spread caramel corn on a cookie sheet to cool. It cools much faster and is easier to break apart.
  • Enjoy!
