Easy Caramel Corn Recipe

My kids love caramel popcorn. The combination of sweet and savory is a guaranteed winner. This is one of the easiest caramel corn recipes you'll ever find. The kids can make it all by themselves.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large package microwave popcorn (to yield 10-12 cups)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 3 Tbsp. brown sugar

Preparation:

  1. Prepare popcorn according to package directions. Pour into a serving bowl.

  2. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in corn syrup and brown sugar.

  3. When the sugar is dissolved, and the mixture turns a caramel color, remove from heat and pour over poppped popcorn. Toss to coat well.
