Who doesn’t love a good Caramel Popcorn? One of my favourite things about caramel popcorn is the hard crunch of the caramel coating and the sweet and salty flavours! This recipe is great to make as an everyday snack, on holidays, and when you have family and friends over. Quick Caramel Corn

These are perfect if you are looking for a movie night snack or a sweet and salty snack when you have guests over. I hope you like this one like I do!

Only 7 ingredients are used to make this simple but classic caramel popcorn! 

In this recipe, you will need to make the delicious caramel sauce that you mix with the popcorn. You will need unsalted butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt to make the sauce! 

Using unsalted butter when baking is important to help you control the amount of salt added to your dish. 

I have used brown sugar as opposed to granulated sugar, which is often used to make caramel. It is easier to use brown sugar to make the sauce without the risk of burning the sugar. 

The corn syrup helps prevent the crystallization of sugar, enhances the flavour of the brown sugar, and softens the texture of the caramel. 

It is important to add baking soda once the ingredients have the perfect consistency so it can react to the acid. The baking soda will help create bubbles which in turn will help the caramel create a soft texture when it has been cooled! 

The vanilla extract will help add flavour and help enhance the flavours of the other ingredients. 

And of course, you cannot forget the most important ingredient, popped popcorn!
