Courtside Caramel Corn

My guests say they can't stop eating my caramel corn! For our basketball party I fix enough to fill a big red tin with our team's logo. The delectable syrup coats the popcorn well but isn't sticky. —Sharon Landeen, Tucson, Arizona

I love this Carmel corn. I make it at Christmas and give all my tenets a big bag. They all like it. I’m in the waiting time now for a batch to come out of the oven
Great flavor not too hard to make just remember to take caution with boiling sugar! Num num. I make two batches and put nuts in one!
WOW! I was always a little hesitant to make caramel corn, thought it would be work intensive and too complicated. I saw this recipe and thought this doesn't look too bad. Easy to make, takes a little time but well worth it. Best caramel corn I have ever tasted. Followed directions exactly. Try it, you won't be sorry.
We have been making this recipe for years for a 4H bake sale. It always sells well, and has become a favorite at the sale. We always have to make extra because the people at home tend to gobble a lot of it down before it ever makes it to the sale! Great recipe.
This is the best caramel corn. As stated-store in air tight containers but it won't last long. It's easy to make, delicious to eat and not sticky like some caramel corns can be. For Christmas I added 1 cup cocktail peanuts and 1 cup unsalted cashews. I poured the nuts on top of the popcorn then poured the caramel sauce over everything. I baked as usual. When the corn was completely cool I melted 1 T shortening with 1 cup mixed milk chocolate and semi sweet chocolate chips. I let it cool completely then put it in air tight metal tins to gift neighbors. It's addicting.
Awesome! I will definitely be making this again. So good!
This is almost identical to the recipe I use, but I use puff corn - no hulls! We call it "crack corn" - can't stop once you start!! Delicious!!!
We loved this crunchy popcorn! Double the recipe, it goes fast.
Excellent recipe for caramel corn! After trying this recipe, I've thrown away my old one. Great flavor, texture and caramel coverage of the corn. I also used 3/4 tsp. soda like another reviewer noted, and it turned out very well.
Easy, relatively fast, and a hit with caramel-popcorn lovers---what more could you want in a caramel corn recipe? I added an extra 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda (after reading reviews for Paula Deen's nearly identical recipe) this time around, but the recipe's been great each of the 5+ times I've made it.
