This is easy and delicious. I very made it a few times now and it’s a big hit. I use 2 microwave bags of popcorn. The candied coating has been enough to coat the extra popcorn. I do mix mine in a huge bowl adding the peanuts as I stir. Then put it on the cookie sheet. You just have to work fast. You can use whatever nuts you like. When mine was cool, I added in m&m peanut candies. That last time I made it, I drizzled chocolate over it, and let it set over night. Then I bagged it up into individual servings to share. I double the recipe but use almost 4 bags of microwave popcorn. Believe me, it won’t last. Once you start eating it you can’t stop. Thank you Sam for such great recipes! I have made several, with using my own spin on them and they are always perfect and delicious. 🙂

In reply to Dimple Morgan. I haven't tried it. You would have to use all granulated sugar, because the brown sugar would "muddy" the colors a bit. It may change your flavor a bit and since I haven't done it I'm not quite sure how it would turn out, but if you do try it I would love to know how it goes. :)

Hi Sam, can you add food coloring to the caramel to make it another color? If so, when would I do that? I want to know so I can make this a festive treat all year long.

Made this and we all loved it. I even made a second batch for the hubby and added dry roasted peanuts and pecans. Awesome recipe and will definitely be making again.

In reply to Lauren. Hi Lauren! I have not tried making this in a popcorn ball, but it is pretty sticky so it may hold together pretty well if you don't separate it. :)

In haven't tried this yet, but I wonder if you've tried to make it into a popcorn ball? My grandparents have our popcorn balls every year at Halloween and with Halloween in question, I'm looking for a way to make an extra special treat to celebrate in case we will not be able to go house to house.

I’ve tried it today as a special treat for the kids and it came out absolutely perfect. It was gone before I even put it in a box. Thank you so much for the recipe!

In reply to Selah M. Howard. Thank you so much, Selah! I am so happy to hear that the caramel popcorn turned out perfectly for you and it was a hit at your super bowl party! Thank you for trying my recipe and for commenting, I appreciate the feedback! :)

Hi there!

I honestly wasn’t expecting this recipe to be this good (since I’ve failed before in the caramel making category)! I made this yesterday for the Super Bowl and turned out perfect! Delectably sugary and sweet, caramelized yet firm! Super amazing and will definitely be making again and I have already shared recipe! Another perfect one, Sam!

In reply to Rox. Thank you, Rox! I am sorry but I do not have experience with baking at high altitude so I can not advise. :(

Hi! This recipe looks wonderful! Do you know how long I should boil the syrup at high altitude, 7500 feet? Thanks.

Have made this caramel corn for years and it is WONDERFUL! Passed the recipe on to my daughter who now makes it herself. One thing that might be considered—warn everyone to use a large pot for cooking the caramel ingredients because when the baking soda is added the mixture will really foam and can spill over if a smallish pot is used. Happy cooking!
