Super Fast, Delicious, Easy, and Ooey Gooey Caramel Corn

Delish's Note:

This caramel corn whips up really fast and is the perfect consistency and taste. I received it from some good friends of my parents. It always goes over well when a bunch of friends or family get together. Even though its easy, my husband requests it often. We like light corn syrup, but if you prefer a stronger flavor, use dark.

This was so quick and easy! We made some to take to family movie night in the park! It's just plain delicious! The only comment I would make is to be sure to use the full amount of popcorn. Otherwise the caramel is too thick and the popcorn is too chewy instead of being crunchy.

Very messy but tasty. I popped 1/2 c popcorn in my air popper and it made the perfect amount. I also microwaved the caramel, first melting the butter then adding the sugars and heating more until bubbling.

So good, and so addictive!! This is the second time I've made it. This time I tossed in some peanuts and sprinkled a little kosher salt over it after the caramel was all mixed in. Oh my.... heaven!
