Reviews
It is delicious and easy to make.
This recipe is simple and delicious. I pop popcorn in my air popper and add this on, it literally takes 5 minutes. We like to modify the recipe a bit by eliminating the cinnamon and adding vanilla and a touch of cayenne, plus a sprinkling of kosher salt at the end.
awesome! we love to buy kettle corn at fairs and the like. this far exceeds the taste of anything of its kind. i added a little sea salt to give it the sweet/salty contrast.
My family LOVED this caramel corn. I changed a few things and added Mexican vanilla to it and a bit of salt. I did use buttered microwave popcorn because that was all I had and it was amazing. It does get better as it sits a bit and its not as sticky as it is right after you pour the topping on. It was a little more like butter toffee popcorn. This is quick and easy and the whole family loved it. I will definitely make this again and again!!!
I didnt have microwave popcorn just kernals so I popped them myself. It wasnt overally carmely and the longer it sat the yummer it got. So simple and easy and hardly any ingredients good thing to make when you want a easy dessert.
I literally whipped this up in minutes and it was perfect!
I used buttered popcorn and it tasted fine.. I also used “pumpkin pie spices”, so it was perfect for our holiday party!
Do Try!

I just made this recipe for my kids. It was very easy! Not hard at all! Most of all my kids loved it! A big hit at my house, will definitly make this again and again.
This was not at all what I thought it would be. The caramel even though I stirred continuously for 4 minutes was sugary not smooth at all. No one in my family liked it. I wanted wonderful, buttery caramel and this definitely was not it, or even close. I finally found this great recipe on Allrecipes called microwave caramel popcorn! It is quick easy and actually tastes like caramel popcorn.
This is so awesome it was quick and easy and the whole family loved it.
This was a very easy and economical recipe for a very delicious treat! My kids won’t believe I made it.
