I've made this recipe for fall bazaars, Christmas gift baskets, and tailgating. Never a kernel left. I use a couple big bags... of Vic's popcorn to make it easier and it works perfectly.Read more

Always a hit!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family loves this recipe! Super easy - 2 recommendations, though. If you use the 8 quarts of popcorn that the recipe... calls for, double the caramel part of the recipe. There's not enough if you don't. Also, pick out the kernels that don't pop before you pour the caramel over, not a fun surprise to bite into them with a handful of popped corn! This is a favorite Fall recipe for us.Read more

good and easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family loves this popcorn. It is super easy and turns out great every time. I like to add mixed nuts to the mixture... before baking. I also add 1 or 2 cups of chocolate chips after baking and it is melts into the popcorn. I then let it cool on wax paper until the chocoate hardens. Read more

FABULOUS!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The flavor of this caramel corn is excellent!!! I made it twice over the holidays, once with the amount of popcorn called... for, and once with less. When I made it with the amount called for, I then had to make another half batch of the caramel sauce in order to get the popcorn fully covered. The next time I just made it with only about 6 quarts of popcorn and there was enough sauce. I took it to a couple of different functions and people absolutely loved it! Read more
