Olivia’s Killer Karamel Korn a.k.a. Easy Caramel Popcorn. The easiest and very best homemade caramel popcorn recipe that I’ve ever tried.
Easy Caramel Popcorn
My daughter Olivia found this recipe and we made a couple of tweaks to it. This is a great recipe to make with the kids on a snowy afternoon like yesterday when we whipped up this batch.
I’m afraid the adults ate much more than the kids though. Absolutely addictive!
TIP: The darker the brown sugar you use, the deeper the caramel flavour will be. However, any type of brown sugar will still yield an outstandingly delicious caramel popcorn.
Dark brown sugar.

Can plain microwaved popcorn be used as well? Also, do you use light corn syrup in this recipe? Thank you!

I gave this recipe a try and it turned out perfect. Would make again and perhaps try adding some peanuts next time. Yummy.
