Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 3 tablespoons coconut or vegetable oil
- Slightly rounded 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup roasted, salted mixed nuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Put the oil and 3 or 4 popcorn kernels in a large pot with a lid (at least 6 quarts). Cover the pot and turn the heat up to medium-high. Wait until you hear one of the kernels pop, then uncover the pot and add the remaining kernels. Quickly stir everything together then replace the lid. Cook the popcorn until the kernels begin popping and then reduce the heat slightly. Cook, shaking often, until the rate of popping starts to slow, 2 to 3 minutes. Do not wait for all of the kernels to pop or they will burn. Take off the heat.
- Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt in a medium pot. Heat over medium heat until melted and smooth. Stir in the baking soda.
- Pour the nuts on top of the popcorn. Then pour the caramel into the pot with the popcorn; stir to coat and spread the popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden, about 20 minutes. Cool completely, and then break apart before serving.

This is what to do with leftover popcorn!!!
This delicious popcorn was devoured by all! Big hit!!!
Used two bags of microwave popcorn. Finish’s with a dusting of grey salt. Came out great!
This nutty caramel corn is really tasty and pretty quick and easy to make (comparatively speaking). My family and friends love it!!!
This is good if you like VERY SWEET popcorn. Next time I make this I will cut back on the sugar, corn syrup and reduce some of the butter.
I love this recipe!!!!!!!
Such a good snack and great gift snack. Easy and come out great every time.
Made this a few months back and they’re begging me to make it again.
I’ve made this popcorn for birthday parties many many times, and it is always a hit. I never have any leftovers.
Perfect!
