Hi! I’m going to make some gifts for Christmas next week and you mentioned this being a good option! Do you have a suggestion for storage as gifts? Tins are looking pricey online. Thanks so much!

This is so delicious and easy. My kids were able to help out. So fun and festive for the holidays!

In reply to Na Tasha. My butter separated from the rest of the caramel while cooking on the stove... and it got quite thick through the four minutes before adding vanilla and salt and soda. Mine didn't bubble very much when adding those things, and was too solid to stir the popcorn into. Like one big hunk of chewy caramel... Any idea where I went wrong? I'd like to try again later!

this recipe uses too much salt, but all in all very good

Ummm. I’m trying to figure out what I did wrong. This mixture didn’t bubble for me at all and now the texture is weird

Delicious recipe! My daughter & I enjoyed it tremendously! I haven’t made this at home in over 30 years.

In reply to Katie. Katie, you can pop the popcorn kernels right in the microwave oven without any oil. Just put 2-4 TBSP of popcorn kernels in a large microwave-safe bowl, cover it with a lid and turn the microwave on high. When popping slows down and there is a one second delay between pops, STOP the microwave.

My best friend and I make a holiday gift in mass every year recently. Last year, it was bacon salt (wow, did the house smell like bacon for weeks!). This year, it was caramel corn, but we were faced with three recipes; one without corn syrup, one with not as much salt and one that didn’t call for putting in the oven. This was THE BEST recipe. It’s not too sweet (because of the salt), not too crunchy and not too chewy. We adjusted the oven temp (oven runs about 5 degrees under set temp) down to 250 degreed and left in for about 12 minutes. We poured the caramel over the popcorn and you really have to fold the caramel in carefully until it fully coats and then fold, fold, fold to make sure it’s well coated. Also, when it comes out of the oven, break into pieces that you want (some like bigger chunks and some like smaller pieces) as when it cools, you don’t want to mess with breaking it up. Great recipe!
