SUPER FAST, DELICIOUS, EASY, AND OOEY GOOEY CARAMEL CORN



Super Fast, Delicious, Easy, and Ooey Gooey Caramel Corn image

This caramel corn whips up really fast and is the perfect consistency and taste. I received it from some good friends of my parents. It always goes over well when a bunch of friends or family get together. Even though its easy, my husband requests it often. We like light corn syrup, but if you prefer a stronger flavor, use dark.

CLASSIC CARAMEL CORN

This recipe I really liked, but I found it a little sweet for my taste. However, I liked how much corn it covered. Reminded me a little of popcorn balls.

Time 1h

Yield 16 cups, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

cooking spray, to taste (I used my butter wrapper insides instead)
4 quarts popped popcorn
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup or 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Spray large shallow roasting pan with cooking spray. I used my butter wrappers instead of spraying. Add popcorn and place in preheated 250 degree oven while preparing caramel.
  • Mix brown sugar, corn syrup, salt, butter, and salt in a 2-quart saucepan. I skipped the salt because I was using salted popcorn, but your personal preference here. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Boil 5 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat. Stir in baking soda and vanilla and mix well.
  • Pour syrup over warm popcorn and stir evenly to coat.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven and spread on foil that has been sprayed with cooking spray. (I skipped the cooking spray here too).
  • Cool and break apart. Store in tightly covered container. (I think the purpose of the tightly covered container is so you can't open and eat it as quickly).

GOOEY CARAMEL POPCORN

Time 40m

Yield 12 popcorn balls

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch cream of tartar
1/2 (10-ounce) package marshmallows, about 4 cups
10 cups hot, salted popcorn, uncooked kernels removed

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, water, corn syrup, butter, and cream of tartar (this bit of acid keeps the sugar from crystallizing.) Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon to dissolve the sugar. When the sugar syrup reaches a boil, stop stirring and swirl the pan around over the heat so it doesn't burn. As the syrup reaches the caramel stage, the bubbles on top will become smaller, thicker, and closer together. Simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, until the caramel coats the back of the spoon. (If so inclined, stick a candy thermometer in the pot and cook until the syrup reaches the soft-crack stage, about 270 degrees F. When you drop a bit of this syrup into cold water, it will solidify into threads that, when removed, are hard yet bendable.) Remove the caramel from the heat and stir in the marshmallows. Fold the marshmallows into the hot caramel so they all melt into a gooey caramel sauce.
  • The caramel will coat better if the popcorn is hot, so make it while boiling the sugar or pop it first then keep it warm. Put the popcorn in a big bowl and pour the caramel marshmallow mixture over the popcorn. Gently fold with a wooden spoon to coat each kernel. Grab handfuls of the popcorn and squeeze it together to form popcorn balls; make them about the size of a tennis ball. Put the popcorn balls on a sheet pan lined with waxed paper to cool completely.
