Caramel Corn

Source: Jean Brandt


  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 4 T. Karo light corn syrup
  • 16 cups popped popcorn
Microwave butter and sugar for 1 minute, stir.

Repeat.

Add corn syrup, stir.

Microwave for 3 minutes, pour over popped popcorn in a large bowl.  Mix it all up until the popcorn is coated with caramel.

Spread out on nonstick cookie sheets, separating it as you spread it out.  

Notes:  

You can make any amount of the syrup, just use equal parts butter and sugar, with 1 tablespoon corn syrup per 1/4 cup of those ingredients.

You can add nuts if you wish!

Use air popped corn with no oil for best results.
