I found this recipe in some random cookbook a long time ago & now I call it mine. It's one of my favorites! And, my fam. loves when I make it! It's super yum & I don't even need a recipe any more, I just know it. Also, I usually just guess on maeasurements & rarely actually measure them out but for this one I think you need to or else it might not end up the right consistency.
Nay Nay's Caramel Corn
1 Stick Butter
2 1/2 C. Brown Sugar, firmly packed
1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 C. Karo Syrup
3 bags Microwave Popcorn, popped (duh!)
Mix the first 4 ingredients together in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Pour over popcorn in bowl & mix until evenly coated.
Super Easy, right?
TIPS:
*When you measure your Karo Syrup spray your measuring cup with cooking spray & you'll get every little bit out.
*De-Kernal your popcorn. It's kinda a pain but you'll save your teeth! Use 2 bowls, shake popcorn & the kernals should fall to the bottom. Then gently move the popcorn to the other bowl w/out picking up the kernals.
*After mixing popcorn & caramel, put into a buttered bundt pan & let cool. Then invert onto plate & slice w/knife. Super easy serving & pretty cute!
*My own personal trick, I only boil for 4 minutes & then turn the burner off for the final minute. I don't know that it makes any difference but it seems to turn out softer. If you over cook, it's going to go all hard so try to do it for no more than 5 minutes!!!
*If it's a holiday or you want something different, put a few drops of food coloring into the caramel while cooking. I've done orange for Halloween, red for Valentine's & green for St. Pat's!
I hope you try this out! Good luck!
